Queen to launch HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier

Nice looking Ship - Congrats... "Fair Winds and Following Seas"

The first of two new 65,000 tonne aircraft carriers – which will be the Navy’s largest ever ships - is due to be commissioned by the Queen next on Thursday (December 7 2017).

According to the Ministry of Defence construction of the 280 metre-long ship, longer than the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, would not have been possible without the essential work undertaken by small and medium sized firms nationwide.
