Britain’s future flagship, the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth, has sprung a leak. The ship, which will eventually be loaded with a fleet of F-35 fighter jets, is reportedly taking on 200 liters of seawater every hour.
As a result, the carrier may need to be taken back into dry dock. It currently resides in Portsmouth.

The leak is thought to be caused by a faulty seal, which insiders blame on Aircraft Carrier Alliance (ACA), the partnership that built the vessel. The ‘significant’ fault on the £3.1 billion ($4.1 billion) carrier was discovered during sea trials when an issue with a propeller shaft was spotted.

Queen Elizabeth herself commissioned the warship earlier this month, in a huge ceremony in Portsmouth, also attended by Prime Minister Theresa May.

The ACA, which will foot the bill for the repairs, played down the damage. A spokesman told the Sun: “It does not prevent her from sailing again and her sea trials program will not be affected. It is normal practice for a volume of work and defect resolution to continue following vessel acceptance.”

BBC defense correspondent Jonathan Beale said the problem was “highly embarrassing” for the navy.

A Royal Navy spokesman said: “An issue with a shaft seal has been identified during HMS Queen Elizabeth’s sea trials; this is scheduled for repair while she is alongside at Portsmouth. It does not prevent her from sailing again and her sea trials programme will not be affected.”

Queen Elizabeth is 919ft long with a flight deck of four acres – space for three football pitches. When she comes into service she will have a mega 1,600 man crew and around 40 F-35B jets and Crowsnest helicopters.

However, the jets themselves, which will revolutionize air combat, have experienced a host of problems, significantly bumping up the cost of the order.

As well as the drop in the value of the pound, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) is no longer able to say exactly how much it will pay for the jets, nor how many Britain will order. It is currently stated there will be a £9.1 billion order for 48 from US giant Lockheed Martin, but this is liable to change.

However, the embattled planes are costing a huge amount of cash while the MoD looks to save £30 billion ($40 billion) in ten years.

Aviation expert Pierre Sprey, says the aircraft have an “unbelievably abnormal” amount of issues, including computing systems that are vulnerable to cyberattack and communication issues between the planes and ships.

HMS Queen Elizabeth: Leak found on new aircraft carrier

The UK's new aircraft carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth, is leaking because of a faulty seal.

The Royal Navy's future flagship, which was commissioned by the Queen earlier this month in Portsmouth, has a problem with one of its propeller shafts.

The fault on the £3.1bn carrier was first identified during sea trials.

A Royal Navy spokesman said the ship was scheduled for repair and the fault did not prevent it from sailing again early in the new year.

According to the Sun newspaper, HMS Queen Elizabeth has been taking on up to 200 litres of sea water every hour because of the fault.

BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Beale said the problem was "highly embarrassing" for the Royal Navy and just one of a number of snags still to be rectified.

A Royal Navy spokesman said "an issue" with a shaft seal had been identified during HMS Queen Elizabeth's sea trial and a repair was scheduled for when the carrier was in Portsmouth.

He added: "It does not prevent her from sailing again and her sea trials programme will not be affected."

Analysis
By Jonathan Beale, BBC defence correspondent

The Royal Navy is trying to play down the problem, after first trying to hide it.

It is clearly embarrassing.

They have known about the problem for some time but they did not want it to get in the way of the commissioning ceremony in front of the Queen.

The truth is similar leaks in other warships are not unusual and can be fixed relatively easily.

The difference this time though is the scale of HMS Queen Elizabeth and the fact it has just been handed over to the navy.

The big question is whether the leak can be fixed while it is still in the water.

The navy insists the job can be done without her going back to dry dock, which would be costly and add to delays.

Either way, the navy insists the fault will have to be rectified and paid for by the contractors, along with a list of other "snags".

Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson said the cost of the repair would be funded by the contractors that built it.

He added: "This is the reason why we have the sea trials, to make sure that everything is working absolutely perfectly. This is something that work is currently ongoing to deal with."

'Expect to take on water'
HMS Queen Elizabeth was built by the Aircraft Carrier Alliance, a grouping of BAE Systems, Babcock and Thales.

Blocks were completed at six yards - Govan and Scotstoun in Glasgow, Appledore, Cammell Laird in Liverpool, A&P in Newcastle and Portsmouth - before being assembled at Rosyth Dockyard in Fife.

BAE Systems, which confirmed the affected section was built at its site in Govan, said the repair would be done in the new year and take a few days.

The company said: "It is normal practice for a volume of work and defect resolution to continue following vessel acceptance. This will be completed prior to the nation's flagship recommencing her programme at sea in 2018."

The maximum amount of water the carrier is said to be taking on every hour is 200 litres - the capacity of fish tank measuring 100cm x 50cm x 40cm.

Rear Admiral Chris Parry, a former director of operational capability at the Ministry of Defence, said the headlines were "very embarrassing" but the leak "in reality is no big deal".

"You expect to take some water in when you're operating a warship at sea," he told the BBC, adding that was why they are equipped with pumps.

He said: "It's been out for sea trials, it's been under pressure. They've been testing all their systems to the extremes and I'm afraid to say this is what happens at sea."

The 900ft (280m) long HMS Queen Elizabeth entered its home port of Portsmouth for the first time in August after starting two months of sea trials from Rosyth.

It is the first of the UK's new generation of aircraft carriers.

A second carrier, HMS Prince of Wales, is externally complete but it will take 18 months to fit its internal systems at Rosyth and it will be 2019 before the ship can begin sea trials.

No planes
News of the leak comes after MPs raised concerns over the costs of the F-35 jet aircraft that will fly off HMS Queen Elizabeth.

The UK has begun a £9.1bn programme to buy 48 of the F-35s by 2025 from US giant Lockheed Martin.

But the Commons defence select committee said there had been an "unacceptable lack of transparency" over the jets, with one estimate suggesting each plane would cost more than £150m.

HMS Queen Elizabeth cannot currently deploy planes but the Lightning fighter jets are due to make their first trial flights from the carrier's deck next year, with 120 air crew being trained in the US.

A new national shipbuilding strategy was unveiled by then Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon in September.

The government has said it plans to buy at least five new Type 31e frigates by 2023, and share the work between shipyards across the country.

The first batch of new ships will bolster the Royal Navy fleet, but it is hoped foreign navies will buy ships from the UK in future.

An Aircraft Carrier Named After Queen Elizabeth Has Sprung A Very Costly Leak

The largest ship Britain has ever built has a leak.

The HMS Queen Elizabeth, the first in a new class of aircraft carriers which took 3.1 billion pounds ($4.2 billion) and eight years to construct, has a faulty seal around one of its propellers.

This leak, which was discovered during sea trials, is not a serious — i.e. sinking — problem, but could be costly to repair. The faulty seal allows 200 liters of water (about the amount it takes to fill a standard bathtub) into the hull every hour that then has to be pumped back out of the 64,000 tonne craft.

The defect does not prevent the craft from sailing and will not affect further sea trials, according to a Royal Navy spokesman.

The Navy likely knew about the leak earlier, but held off on announcing repairs until after a visit from the Queen of England on December 7 to commission the vessel.

Her Majesty The Queen, accompanied by Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal, attended the Commissioning Ceremony of the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth, the largest warship ever built for the Royal Navy. Following the traditions of the Royal Navy, during the course of the ceremony the commissioning cake will be cut by the Captain's wife and the youngest member of the Ship's Company.

Britain's new aircraft carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth, is leaking as a result of a faulty seal, it has emerged. The Royal Navy's £3.1 billion warship, which was accepted into the Royal Navy fleet by The Queen less than a month ago, has a "significant" defect.

Reports suggested there is a problem with an inflatable rubber ring-style seal around one of the propeller shafts.

The fault means the ship has been taking on up to 200 litres of sea water an hour, according to The Sun.

The Royal Navy confirmed the problem was identified during sea trials and said the aircraft carrier is scheduled for repair.

Repairs, which will be paid for by the manufacturers rather than the Ministry of Defence, are likely to cost millions of pounds, sources suggested.

A Royal Navy spokesman said the fault does not prevent the carrier from sailing again early in 2018.

Repairs 'will not cost taxpayer a penny'
Repairs to HMS Queen Elizabeth will not cost the British taxpayer a penny, the Defence Secretary has insisted.

Pressed on suggestions that repairs could cost millions, Gavin Williamson said the money would come "from the contractors who built her".

"This isn't going to cost the British taxpayer a penny," he said. "This is the reason why we have the sea trials, to make sure that everything is working absolutely perfectly.


"This is something that work is currently ongoing to deal with, and HMS Queen Elizabeth will be going out early on in the new year to continue her sea trials and making sure she is fully operable in terms of helicopters and the F-35 being able to fly off her deck.


"HMS Queen Elizabeth is the most magnificent aircraft carrier in the world and, when she is fully operational and she is being deployed right around the world, she is going to make a significant difference as to what we can actually achieve and what we are able to do as a global power."

Most powerful warship ever built by the UK
At 280m (918ft) long and with an estimated half-a-century working life, the behemoth is the biggest and most powerful ever built by the UK.

However, it is understood the vessel has been leaking for some time.

A Royal Navy spokesman said: "An issue with a shaft seal has been identified during HMS Queen Elizabeth's sea trials; this is scheduled for repair while she is alongside at Portsmouth.

"It does not prevent her from sailing again and her sea trials programme will not be affected."

10,000 people worked on construction of ship
The aircraft carrier weighs 65,000 tonnes and has a top speed in excess of 25 knots.

Several ship-building yards around the country were involved in the build.

These include Govan and Scotstoun in Glasgow, Appledore in Devon, Cammell Laird in Liverpool, A&P on the Tyne in Newcastle and Portsmouth.


Around 10,000 people worked on construction of the ship, made up in sections at yards around the UK and transported to Rosyth, Fife, where it was assembled.

Building aircraft carriers 'not for the fainthearted'
Speaking ahead of the ship's commissioning on December 7, Captain Jerry Kyd described it as a "major milestone".

The ship's commanding officer said: "Building aircraft carriers is not for the fainthearted. There are very few countries who can do this around the world."

HMS Queen Elizabeth's decade-long construction
He later added: "Putting together an aircraft carrier and all its facets and all its bits and pieces is quite a complicated business, (but) one we are looking forward to.

"This (the commissioning) is a major milestone now, it is all systems go really."

HMS Queen Elizabeth in numbers
The aircraft carrier was delivered by ship building partnership the Aircraft Carrier Alliance (ACA).

An ACA spokesman said: "HMS Queen Elizabeth has been accepted into Her Majesty's fleet.

"It is normal practice for a volume of work and defect resolution to continue following vessel acceptance.

"This will be completed prior to the nation's flagship re-commencing her programme at sea in 2018."

Then sugar ecomony came and also can' fuck grow sugar well and not work hard. So took India Indians as slaves for sugar industry too rebrand them as coolies.

Then grow opium in India, cant grow themselves proving they cant fuck do farming over again.


They can' fuck well how ro produced quality products.

This type of race need to be extinct the world dont need them.

Flaws like $4 billion Zumwalt’s leak called normal in new ships

The first-of-its-class ship built at BIW stays in port for repairs after seawater enters a lubricating system.

Crew members have detected a leak on the Zumwalt, the new destroyer built at Bath Iron Works, but the Navy and defense experts say such errors are typical for a first-in-class ship.

The destroyer is docked at Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia, and local news organizations reported it was scheduled for training at sea. The Zumwalt instead will be delayed in Norfolk for repairs, which are expected to take 10 days to two weeks.

MORE ZUWALT COVERAGE

• Navy gives look inside futuristic Zumwalt destroyer
• Ready for commission, Navy’s high-tech Zumwalt sails away from Bath Iron Works
• Zumwalt protesters plead not guilty

Naval Surface Forces Pacific spokesman John Perkins said crews on the Zumwalt found a seawater leak Monday in a lubrication system for one of the ship’s propeller shafts.

The Zumwalt had stopped in Norfolk on its way to Baltimore, where it will be commissioned next month.

In a statement, Naval Surface Forces said Zumwalt has a “built-in redundancy” of the ship’s propulsion system that enables the ship to operate even with the leak in the lubricating system. However, it was determined that the repairs should be completed in port before the ship and crew continued with sea training.

“Repairs like these are not unusual in first-of-class ships during underway periods following construction,” the Navy said.

Two defense experts agreed Thursday.

“You’re going to see these kinds of challenges come up, especially in these beginning phases,” said Eric Wertheim, a defense consultant affiliated with the U.S. Naval Institute and the author of the nonprofit’s “Combat Fleets of the World.”

“It would be surprising not to have teething problems with these first-in-class ships,” he said.

NAVY SILENT ON COST OF REPAIR

Wertheim compared the Zumwalt to a model home in a new housing development.

“The first house that’s built is going to be the first one of its kind,” he said. “The next ones will hopefully be easier.”

Loren Thompson, a naval analyst and the chief operating officer of The Lexington Institute, said the leak seems “inconsequential.”

“Normally, when there are issues in a first ship in a class,” he said, “the Navy and the contractor share the cost of resolving them.”

In its statement announcing the leak repairs, the Navy did not specify what the job might cost, and the Naval Surface Forces Public Affairs Office did not return calls from a reporter seeking additional information. A BIW spokesman would not answer a reporter’s questions Thursday and deferred comment to the Navy.

The destroyer, named for former Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Elmo Zumwalt, cost about $4 billion and weighs in at 16,000 tons.

A POOR REFLECTION ON BIW?

The shipyard is now building the second and third vessels in the $22 billion program, the Michael Monsoor and the Lyndon B. Johnson. The Zumwalt and its sisters are bigger and more technologically sophisticated than any warship built for the Navy. With its angular shape, the stealthy Zumwalt is designed to minimize its radar presence.

“It’s a really, really revolutionary design,” Wertheim said. “In many ways, the whole class, the three ships, are going to serve as test ships for new technology.”

Especially because the Zumwalt is so different from its predecessors, Wertheim said the need for this repair should not reflect poorly on BIW.

“Not unless we start seeing recurring problems that are taking place,” Wertheim said. “And we haven’t seen anything that would indicate any major problems that are abnormal.”

The Zumwalt left BIW on Sept. 2. Once it is commissioned in Baltimore on Oct. 15, it will sail to its new home in San Diego.

Navy’s newest destroyer was held up by seawater leaking into machinery
After unscheduled pit stops in Florida and Panama, DDG-1000 needs further troubleshooting.

After two unscheduled stops for repairs, the USS Zumwalt (DDG-1000), the US Navy's new stealthy all-electric-powered destroyer, arrived at its new home port in San Diego on December 8. The ship also brought along new details about the source of its engineering woes. Zumwalt's propulsion issues, which caused the ship to have engineering failures off Norfolk, Virginia, and while transiting the Panama Canal, were caused by seawater getting into the ship's lubrication system for its huge electric motors.

US Naval Institute News' Sam LaGrone reports that the root cause of the engine failures was seawater contamination in the lube oil for the bearings of Zumwalt's Advanced Induction Motors. Rather than being driven by dedicated gas turbine engines, the Zumwalt's motors are powered by electricity from the gas turbine generators that also power the rest of the ship. The power plant is the first of its kind in a Navy ship, and it could generate enough power to allow Zumwalt to be later refitted with directed energy weapons or electromagnetic railguns.

The seawater apparently got into the motor bearings via a faulty lubrication oil chiller. The chiller uses water drawn in from outside the ship to prevent the oil around the motor's bearings from breaking down and to cool the bearings themselves while they're under load. The cause of the leaks has yet to be determined.

Now that the ship is in San Diego, the installation, activation, and certification of Zumwalt's weapons systems will be completed over the next few months. The ship is not expected to enter full service in the fleet until 2018. There's still some question about just how the Navy will certify the Zumwalt's gun, as the special shells the Advanced Gun System was supposed to fire have been deemed too expensive by the Navy, at $800,000 per round.

静水无波一击必杀：中国新常规潜艇将全程闭气航行
2017年12月20日 09:01 新浪军事

　　近日，网络上出现了基于斯特林发动机的第五代非核动力AIP潜艇的论证方案，笔者认为，这是除小堆AIP潜艇和普通核潜艇外，全程不依赖空气非核AIP潜艇的突破。

　　就笔者的理解来看，斯特林发动机是我国目前一代AIP潜艇的强项，而之后发展的小堆AIP潜艇目前基本开始初步测试及试列装，某种程度上，小堆是最理想的AIP潜艇动力，它横跨了四代和五代AIP潜艇，而基于我国AIP潜艇的现状，在出口版及改进现有斯特林AIP潜艇的基础上考虑，显然不可能全部换装小堆AIP潜艇，毕竟现在唯一出口核潜艇的国家只有俄罗斯，而且也是以租借方式的交付印度，当然先后租借了两款，即查理级和鲨鱼级，目前印度打算租借俄罗斯最新的亚森级攻击性核潜艇，但这些行为也仅限于租借，而不是购买，毕竟世界上无论哪个国家也不不会轻易外卖核潜艇给其他国家，即使是印度和俄罗斯关系如此之好，也不敢冒天下之大不韪，直接买卖，而且即使租借，其价格也是无比之高，而俄罗斯租借第一条查理级核潜艇也是出于冷战结束后的巨变下囊中羞涩的无奈，当然，一回生、二回熟，有了第一次，就有第二次，租借更先进的鲨鱼级潜艇更加顺理成章了。而最近的亚森级采购案，也在紧锣密鼓的进行中，印度通过租借，充分研究了俄方核潜艇的结构，也建造了歼敌者系列核潜艇，目前完成一艘，第二艘也在完成之中，而这在核潜艇历史上也是绝无仅有的唯一先例，当然印度作为俄罗斯武备的宠儿，也有这得天独厚的条件。

　　说完俄印核潜艇的旧事，我们重新来说第五代全程AIP斯特林发动机潜艇，目前瑞典、德国、日本都已经开始大功率斯特林发动机潜艇的研制，以期达到摆脱柴油机动力，完全使用大功率斯特林发动机实现更大低速航程，及更大水下高速下的航程范围，其排水量一般现在定位为2000~2500吨级，而就日本来说，其苍龙级AIP潜艇是在引进瑞典斯特林发动机并且授权仿制的基础上研制出来的，而据相关消息，中国的斯特林发动机的功率略高于日本版的斯特林发动机，即中国用两台国产斯特林发动机即可实现日本三台斯特林发动机装备潜艇所达到的性能。未来，中国可以在此基础上，制造更大功率的斯特林发动机，以期实现全程AIP绝气航行。

　　当然完全使用大功率斯特林发动机，并不意味着抛弃蓄电池，相关的铁锂蓄电池，各国也在积极研制中，以期代替传统的铅酸蓄电池，而新一代蓄电池的单位重量的储能密度之大也是前所未有的，该蓄电池已经在德国新一代AIP潜艇上列装，相信各国也会完成类似研制，只是时间早晚而已，而中国基于和俄罗斯合作研制的拉达级677型潜艇的中俄共同版，也将在使用小堆AIP动力的同时，使用新一代大功率斯特林发动机，实现真正的全航程绝气航行，结合常规潜艇的超高静音性，真正实现静水无波，隐蔽接敌，一击必杀，使命必达！（作者署名：浩汉防务论坛）

6 units of type 055 PLA giant advanced destroyer @11700 tons displacement are being constructed simultaneously in Chinese ship yards right now and along with them there are dozens of nuke subs, other destroyer models, amphibious landing ships, supply ships, aircraft carriers at the same time being constructed SIMULTANEOUSLY. This type of industrial STRENGTH is unprecedented globally and historically.

中国六艘055驱逐舰同时开工 美媒坦言：最糟糕的时代
2017年12月20日 12:33 新浪军事

　　在今年9月份，中国首艘万吨级水面战舰055型驱逐舰下水，预计将会在明年年初正式开始海试。这艘万吨级驱逐舰的下水让中国海军的水面战舰实力得到较大的提升。据介绍，055型驱逐舰将会取代052D驱逐舰成为中国海军的主力舰艇，而且在未来中国航母战斗群中承担舰队的防空和指挥重担，与054A护卫舰、052D驱逐舰和095攻击型核潜艇一起组成中国航母坚实的护盾。

　　而近日，据国内军事媒体报道，055型驱逐舰在第一艘舰下水后不久，便已经开始了后续舰艇的建造计划，根据目前国外爆出的卫星照片显示，预计第一批055型驱逐舰将会达到6艘左右建造规模。据专家介绍，因为055型驱逐舰采用了模块化建造方式，剩下的5艘055型驱逐舰部件将会分布在全国各大船厂进行建造，然后会在总装船厂内将各部件组装，安装相关的设备和武器系统，进行海上测试，也就是说这批055型驱逐舰是同时开工建造的。055型驱逐舰是目前中国最先进的水面战舰，虽然还未正式装备海军部队，但是其已经被各国军事媒体认为是亚洲最强的驱逐舰，即使在世界十大驱逐舰中也能与美军DDG-1000驱逐舰一较高低。

　　055型驱逐舰满载满排水量12500吨，安装了112单元导弹垂直发射系统，可以装填红旗-9远程防空导弹、鱼-8反潜导弹、鹰击-12超音速反舰导弹和长剑-10巡航导弹，既可以为舰队提供区域防空保护，也可以为地面作战部队提供火力支援。其舰桥上安装了双波段有源相控阵雷达，也是继美军福特级航母后世界上第一艘安装双波段有源相控阵雷达的水面舰艇，虽然美军阿利伯克级3型驱逐舰也将采用双波段有源相控阵雷达，但是其目前还才切开第一块钢板，距离下水服役还有一段时间。有消息称，055型驱逐舰将会装备类似美军标准-3防空导弹的红旗-22，用于拦截中程弹道导弹，组建中国的海军反导体系。

　　与中国海军蓬勃发展恰恰相反，美军逐渐开始实力下滑。虽然美国国防部承诺将会保证海军266艘先进水面战舰，但是现实情况却不是如此，除了福特级航母和伯克3型驱逐舰继续建造以外，海军并没有其他造舰计划。美军航母舰队防空和指挥核心提康德罗加级巡洋舰逐渐开始退出现役，预计将会在2030年全部退役。美军将不得不使用伯克级驱逐舰来顶替提康德罗加级巡洋舰退役后出现的防空和对陆火力空缺。美国媒体坦言，虽然美国仍然拥有世界上最强的海军，但这或许将会是里根政府时代以后美军最糟糕的时代。（作者署名：李凡军事观察）

All these leaks would not have happened if they had engage world crass lampar 1 shitbuilder, ST Marine.

Only less than 10 shipyards in the world can build carriers. As their limitation will be several areas, including giant gentry cranes which 85% in the world are Chinese made. US & UK are both buying from Chinese to make their carriers, India want to buy but got screwed by Chinese. Russia is the next buyer. ST can not get just like Ah Neh. The other things includes heavy machineries to shape and bent the special steels for carriers, not the same as building super tankers.

Chinese are enjoying this good British Leaking Joke now of HMS QE2, teasing that it is a turning to submarine soon, and don't Kuai-Lan try to stir SCS.

Besides leaking sea water, there is yet another fuckup that 1 of the 2 propeller shafts got problem. Crippled 1 of 2 legs!

事实上，英国皇家海军的困扰还不只航母本身，就连F-35舰载机的采购案也在国会引发争议。军方以“可能造成不必要困扰”为由，拒绝向国会与议员们公布采购案中的战斗机报价，这让保守党与工党议员相当不满。

HMS Queen Elizabeth ‘taking on water’ due to propeller shaft seal issue

HMS Queen Elizabeth is reportedly taking on seawater because of a fault with one of the seals around its propeller shafts.
The fault was first identified during sea trials. However a spokesperson said the ship is scheduled for repairs and the fault will not prevent her from sailing again early in the new year.

A Royal Navy spokesman said:

“An issue with a shaft seal has been identified during HMS Queen Elizabeth’s sea trials; this is scheduled for repair while she is alongside at Portsmouth. It does not prevent her from sailing again and her sea trials programme will not be affected.”

It’s important to remember that identifying faults and issues like this is exactly the point of sea trials.

HMS Queen Elizabeth was recently commissioned into the Royal Navy, what awaits the supercarrier after that?

The next phase between 2017 and 2020 will be critical to establishing carrier strike capability. The MoD must bring together the carriers, Lightning jets, and Crowsnest with trained crews and supporting infrastructure, logistics, communications and surveillance capabilities.

In early 2018, it is expected that the ship will head to the North Atlantic for heavy weather trials and helicopter certification operations where she will work up her helicopters. In Autumn 2018, HMS Queen Elizabeth will sail for the United States where flight trials with the F-35 will begin.



It is essential to test and operate all these elements together in preparation for Initial Operating Capability for Carrier Strike in 2020 followed by her first operational deployment in 2021. She will reach full operating capability for carrier strike in 2023.

Captain Jerry Kyd, commander of HMS Queen Elizabeth, commented on the initial deployment and the gradual increase in air wing numbers:

“We’re constrained by the F-35 buy-rate even though that was accelerated in SDSR in 2015, so initial operating capability numbers in 2020 are going to be very modest indeed. We will flesh it out with helicopters, and a lot depends on how many USMC F-35s come on our first deployment in 2021. But by 2023, we are committed to 24 UK jets onboard, and after that it’s too far away to say.”

Around 2023, the Ministry of Defence have indicated that the UK will have 42 F-35 aircraft with 24 being ‘front-line fighters’ and the remaining 18 will be used for training (at least 5 on the OCU), be in reserve or in maintenance.

For a detailed breakdown of when things will be happening with each ship and the aircraft squadrons involved, we suggest savetheroyalnavy.org and their ‘Carrier Strike Timeline‘.

The Key Numbers:

• The project to build HMS Queen Elizabeth and sister ship HMS Prince of Wales cost more than £6 billion.
• The aircraft carrier weighs 70,600 tonnes and has a top speed of 25 knots (this however has been exceeded frequently).
• Its flight deck is 280 metres long and 70 metres wide – enough space for three football pitches.
• The ship is the second in the Royal Navy to be named Queen Elizabeth.
• The ship will have a crew of around 700, increasing to 1,600 when a full complement of F-35 jets and Crowsnest helicopters are embarked.
• There are 364,000 metres of pipes inside the ship.
• Both HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales will keep 45 days’ worth of food in its stores.
• The entire Ship’s Company of 700 can be served a meal within 90 minutes – 45 minutes when at action station.
• Leaving the Rosyth dock was among the most difficult manoeuvres in the sea trials, with just 50cm between the bottom of the ship and the seabed in the port.
