HMS Queen Elizabeth, the first of two massive aircraft carriers, is approaching completion ahead of her first sea trials in 2017. However the project remains mired in controversy.
The Queen Elizabeth will move from her berth at Rosyth in the Firth of Forth to her home port of Portsmouth in the near future. She will become the Royal Navy’s flagship and will soon be joined on the high seas by her sister ship, the Prince of Wales.
Captain Simon Petitt RN told the Telegraph Friday the ships would become the UK’s most potent weapon after the Trident nuclear deterrent and revolutionize the way Britain fights its wars.
“It is about stopping wars rather than starting them,” he insisted.
