HMS Queen Elizabeth by Borg Warner

A fantastic piece of British engineering is slowly taking shape on the Clyde. We haven't built anything on this scale for some considerable time (if ever?) and it shows that when we put our minds too it we can still design and build such engineering marvels.

Who fancies a meet on launch day?

At 65,000 tons it will be the largest carrier ever built in the UK. Am I right that 2 are going to be built? Great news for Scotland and the local ship builders.
All the best

Yup the QE and Prince of Wales, although rumours have it that PoW may well be renamed as Ark Royal? Not quite sure what they will be carrying though as the F-35 is having some "teething" troubles shall we say.
