I make that 5 years and 10 days since PoW assembly at Rosyth began on 9th September 2014. (1836 days)
Or 8 years, 3 months, 24 days since first steel was cut on 26th May 2011. (3038 days)

Is PoW getting an MCM escort out to sea?
Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion
That answers my question I asked years ago about how long she would take to build and be contractually 'finished' by AA. (less snags and future RN fittings and of course weapons and upgrades and.......)SKB wrote:I make that 5 years and 10 days since PoW assembly at Rosyth began on 9th September 2014. (1836 days)

Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion
Wonder if the plan is to head up to the Moray Fifth as the QE did. Hopefully if she does ill get a better view this time. The QE was right over the other side from me so couldn't make her out that well. Even her massive size was obscured by the Firth & the mountains behind her.

Same stops at Invergordon too maybe?!
Somewhere, there is a rogue lobster pot or fishing line floating around...

AIS shows tugs now positioned all around PoW's hull - although PoW's own personal AIS hasn't updated for a few hours.

Tug's pattern showing PoW's bow has swung anti-clockwise.
Tug Hopetoun on the stern, Craigleith on the bow.
Bow facing directly at the six decommissioned nuclear submarines....
Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion
16:00 - Now (nearly) turned 90 degrees, facing the basin gate. Tugs Hopetoun on the stern, Craigleith on the bow.

Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion
Yes. Same too. But PoW's AIS has been OFF for hours. Ignore PoW, look at the tugs. Craigleith is on PoW's bow, Hopetoun is on her stern.Little J wrote:When I go on that link it shows her still against the wall

Almost quicker than the time it will take to build HMS Glasgow....SKB wrote:I make that 5 years and 10 days since PoW assembly at Rosyth began on 9th September 2014. (1836 days)
