HMS Queen Elizabeth: Below decks on an aircraft carrier
Рет қаралды 220,439
What's it like on board the most expensive warship the Royal Navy has ever built?
After six months at sea, HMS Queen Elizabeth and the rest of the UK Carrier Strike Group 21 are homeward bound and hoping to arrive back in time for Christmas.
Hannah King (@FTVHan) and Sofie Cacoyannis (@sofiecacs) were treated to a tour below decks of the Navy's fleet flagship as she headed for one of her final stops before home.

Yup the USA closest allie and yet the USA is saying a trade deal is off the table until the UK puts the NHS on the cards. We fought side by side with the USA after 9/11 and stayed in Afghanistan until the very last day and top government officials turn around and demand the UK to give up its free health care system to go private like the USA where you go in a life time of debt for hospital bills and they even have the cheek to say they want a law to sue the UK government if if they try to step in and regulate the price if prescription drugs and amounts for hospital treatment. The UK will never give up its nhs to have a system like the USA it got voted against 97% to not sell the NHS to private health care systems from the USA in the house of Lords and Parliament and yet the USA still won't give the UK a trade deal after promising to do so if we left the European Union. That's bad news!

This becomes an effective super carrier because of the F35. The UK's joint commitment to the development of the F35 was critical to the success of the Queen Elizabeth. The F-35 expanded the US carrier fleet by 8 ships. So there have been frequent questions about the F-35 it has greatly expanded the capabilities of non-catapult equipped carriers. The F-35 is a major upgrade to the Harrier given its stealth and supersonic capabilities and significant Electronic Warfare capabilities.
