Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion
When PWLS went up to Rosyth on one shaft with no tugs, nipper said it was the smoothest sail he had been on her in 3 years.

Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion
The phalanx haven't been on PWLS for quite a while now. As far as I remember, they were removed when she was in Rosyth, as she would be in dock for an extended period of time that made sense, but not refitted. Nipper was most experienced gunner on these when he left, possibly one of the last to actu...

Indeed, they are hoping to be back in time for the Easter break, but obviously that's not for certain.

Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion
I’ll look on the positive side (happier now that the mini-guns have been replaced by 0.5” Machine Guns). Hopefully PWLS has those by now! :mrgreen: Indeed, they got replaced a while back on PWLS before her enforced quarantine to Rosyth, nipper was trained in them before her leaving last year to the...

Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion
What caught my eyes, is that they didn't fit her Phalanx before departure. I know she'll have an escort and she is travelling to an allie, just a bit strange for her not to have her CIWS installed. Does this suggest there aren't enough to go round the fleet (incl RFA) if we deploy 2 carriers at the ...

Nippers leaving gift from his DeptCo and other Senior Ratings. It can go alongside the one he purchased way back in 2019, though that bottle is probably empty.

Was wondering if the modifications were new radios for the US trip. I believe the US had some secure comms added to the QE for its flight testing and deployment.

Just a quick one if true and anyone can shed some light on it ,what are the upgrades supposably done with the repairs ?
