Most likely not, but it seems incredibly laxed. Also nice to see they are still allowing drones to fly close to it.whitelancer wrote:Do you really think it needs it?

According to AIS Tracker, HMS Queen Elizabeth is in Malta, can anyone confirm or deny??
Seems unlikely as last I heard she was off the coast of Cornwall and there would have been a media circus already

Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion
AIS was turned off the following day after she left Portsmouth. The Malta thing you're seeing is a cunning ruse to prevent her real location being publicly known.

Never before realised until I saw this picture, but she really should be nicknamed Rob. Sorry if I am rather slow to twig that one

Unless the ACA have perfected the techniques used for the 'Philadelphia Experiment' and she can not only cloak but also teleportSKB wrote:AIS was turned off the following day after she left Portsmouth.

Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion
Was flying in the area earlier and from a distance it looked like she was facing to the south when alongside. Could be completely wrong on this I was a little way away, it just looked that way.
Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion
You're correct. She berthed Bows South. Phalanx fitting time soon, hopefully.CR4ZYHOR5E wrote:looked like she was facing to the south when alongside.

Not sure the policy on photos from photographers web pages so I’m just posting the link and let the admins upload photos if it’s appropriate but the above has some stunning, mainly aerial, images of QNLZ returning to Portsmouth.
It really is worth a look.
