It's possible to capture ships.

...I'm not quite sure how the Japanese would have gotten Glorious though. Unless she was docked in Burma or Singapore and they took it?

I loaded up a save game to check and yup, I had separated the Glorious from my CV squadron after a particularly nasty battle for some repair and based her in Saigon. It was around the same time I was evaccing Indochina to push forward onto Taiwan and Okinawa for a knock out punch on Japan. I had moved the Glorious to Hainan but probably forgot to rebase her, so when the Japanese re-took Saigon they got another carrier lol.

What is this tom-foolery??!!

Capturing a capital ship is extremely rare, you're lucky to have witnessed it first hand, I have never, since HoI2 was released, seen it first hand.

Here's from another thread, posted by a dev:
"There's a (quite) slim chance to capture enemy fleets in port.
It is based on a random factor (0..99) + FleetSize*5. The fleet will be captured when the result is under 10 AND there are no loaded with troops transport ships in the fleet.
As you can see only fleets of 1 ship (this gives 5 points) can be captured with a 5% chance (0 to 4 random factor out of 100)."
