Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion

Hopefully the "Project Ark Royal" refit can be accelerated while QE is up in Rosyth. Or at least give her paintwork some attention.

PoW has sailed. A different lead tug named Phenix stood in for SD Tempest, which is currently at Faslane.
