This new series that I just happened upon is great! It follows a mothballed antique of a spaceship carrier, it's alcoholic Captain and crew of cast off naval rejects unworthy of any other ship in the fleet. A story of zeros to hero's that keeps you turning page after page. After aliens attack human held space and tear easily through the sleek modern carriers and battle cruisers, the Old Lady, Ark Royal, is called back into service.  While it's slow and ugly, her thick armour and old style boxed shape is the only ship capable of standing up to this alien naval force.  The human race depends on an old drunkard, a crew cast offs and a ship older than most folks alive. This was a very good read that I recommend to any space loving sci-fi reading junkie. A good first book to a great series.
