Pushing the boat out: bringing the HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier safely into Portsmouth harbour has taken months of planning and preparation
High-maintenance: the complex aircraft carriers will spend 15 weeks a year in Portsmouth harbour in order to be kept in optimum condition
2 islands on those ships. 1 for ship’s navigation, the other solely for flight operations.

No comparison photos of HMS Victory, Nelson’s flagship at Trafalgar????
They should invite the Argentine ambassador to the christening.
Those docks look large enough to host US supercarriers now. They’ve never been able to dock before in the UK because of the lack of facilities, maybe this will change now.
I wish they would stop pretending that these two ships are aircraft carriers. They have no aircraft and no clear idea when they might get any. I guess we could use them as glorified helicopter carrier.
Isn’t this the aircraft carrier that doesn’t actually have any aircraft?
I freaking love English English.
When I lived on base at Subic Bay, they had to limit the liberty party to accommodate the Enterprise et al.
Olongopo simply didn’t have enough whores to service all the force at one time
No angled flight deck.
