Thats 2 supercarriers mate, the Prince of Wales and the Queen Elizabeth. 65,000 tonnes each, 40-odd strong air-wing, and will be the most advanced ship on the seas.

My understanding was they were actually going to base those carriers here in the US, since the US has the only facilities capable of servicing such warships (of which we have ten...each displacing between 81,000-100,000 tons)

I can’t wait for the UK to get these...it’s always good when one’s allies are strong...
