Although Swordfish numbered no more than 27 aircraft

Maybe on one aircraft carrier, but according to Wikipedia 2,391 were built
(692 by Fairey and 1,699 by Blackburn) between 1936 and 1944:

Yes, thanks for that - I should have lingered longer over that "27"
figure and investigated further. I agree that it is more than likely
that this was the complement of a single aircraft carrier.
