Here is the website for the Royal Navy. I couldn't find any current deployment news (understandable) but a refit of Illustrious is complete.

Fresh travel advisory for US
___________________________

May 28, 2004

FEARS of al-Qaeda terrorist attacks have led the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) to issue new advice for Australians travelling to the United States.

US officials this week said they had intelligence that the al-Qaeda terrorist network might be planning big attacks in the US or against US interests in the next few months.

A DFAT travel advisory today urged Australians in the US to monitor local news broadcasts and to follow the advice of local authorities.

"United States authorities have stated that attacks are possible over the coming United States summer months and could be aimed at large political and international events," the DFAT advisory said.

"Before and during your trip, monitor local developments and news broadcasts carefully, and follow the advice of local authorities."
