But the only aircraft carried by the ship was
already flying at the time...

She was equipped for two aircraft.

Negative. The correct way to phrase the fact is:
"she _could_ operate two aircrafts."

Not quite.
"she could operate two aircraft"
Plural of aircraft is aircraft.
Just as the plural of Walrus ( Supermarine or otherwise )
is ... Walrus.

But I didn't say she _could_ embark only aircraft.
I said she _did_ embark only one aircraft _that day_.

May well be. Wonder what happened to the other?
