- Britain's new aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth is set to enter her new home in Portsmouth on Wednesday 16 August 2017.
The 65,000-tonne carrier, the biggest warship ever to be built in Britain, has been undergoing sea trials since setting sail from Scotland's Rosyth dockyard in June.
She is now set to make her historic arrival into Portsmouth on Wednesday at approximately 0710 where she will be the latest in a long line of famous Royal Navy ships to call the port home.
As an American who loves the UK and has served alongside the men and women of her armed forces, it is SPECTACULAR to see the ROYAL NAVY with a real aircraft carrier again. BRAVO ZULU (well done!) Royal Navy!
although it's more like an escort carrier to be honest-due to number of planes and certain limitations it has.
Thankyou Paul Connors. Refreshing to read some praise and optimism from outside the country, rather than pessimism, and sarcasm from within.
shut up kid, paul sounds like a nice guy stop giving him greif. Thankyou Paul for taking interest in our country :)
Thank you TomOnPC!
You are most welcome.
My son is on this amazing ship and I am very proud of him and the Navy. He is very proud to serve this country and protect us.
He has a very good trade in the Navy and is head hunted all the time so I am not too worried. It sounds like your story is not so happy
How many had to die of cancer so we can bully smaller countries and create more terrorists.
I have had cancer in 2006 and my care was the best in the world available and has been since. I did not die through poor NHS care because we spent money on defence.
Your son is a great person
She's a magnificent example of British engineering and innovation, good luck to all that sail with her.
A wonderful site a British built aircraft carrier to protect the UK and its interests across the world. At long last we have a carrier again!!!
And not just a carrier, but a proper full-sized fleet carrier. The three "through deck cruisers" of the Invincible class were too much a half-hearted compromise in their design. The HMS Queen Elizabeth is the real thing!
Talorc MacAllan so Salty bro
Talorc MacAllan well at least it created lots of jobs and apprenticeships. Not to mentions BA Systems policy of purchasing goods an services locally. Lots more work to go on lots of jobs
Stanley Burgess hopefully they get those right wing fucks aswell
I Boarshock theirs a second one finished building by the end of 2017. Prince of wales aircraft carrier. It a twin queen Elizabeth type carrier. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 Britain will rule the waves again, atleast in Europe as no other country in Europe has two mighty carriers
About the people complaining about the cost, being American, at least it was made domestically that is how many highly paid skilled workers and apprentices learning ship building earning good wages and spending them, plus the cost to maintain this fine ship and update her, its a nice domestic money maker. They could have bought a carrier we already had and updated it and not have all those jobs and skills being developed back home. She is a fine ship.
Thomas Kolter Buying another ships would cost more in the long run to do with hull life.
To those who criticize the appearance of the QE class of RN carriers and two islands causing a rather unorthodox appearance, the reason is really quite simple. The forward island is for the ship's company who drive the ship. The aft island is for the control of flight operations on the flight deck for both helos and the eventual arrival of the F35Bs. As an American who's used to seeing a single island and now on the FORD Class much farther back along the starboard side of the ship, I think the RN's concept and execution will prove itself over time. With the forward island placed as far up the flight deck as it is, it will make ship handling easier and more efficient, while the air group has its own island dedicated to flight operations only. I say WELL DONE again, RN!
The British split the island up fore and aft as you said for good reasons. But the real reason is they built the islands incorporated with the two different stacks, funnels... They could have merged the two stacks into one stack, but doing so consumed too much hangar and deck space. Better to go straight up...
Being Ex RN, Good old days are back, a Fleet carrier. Bloody marvelous.
henryvagincourt, good to read informed opinions among the trash that some guys write. I spent three years on F.OAC's staff as Yeoman but seemingly all my ships are in the Gillette fleet.
If this ship ever visits New York City Id like to see it
Wide World of Trains it is now
Our Old Mum. The Biggest. And the Best. Thankyou. Appreciate it all...
I wont get into any sort of political or scocietal debate - il just say - What a creation! Your designers, engineers and everyone who worked on it must be proud! Magnificant machine.
Words can't describe the Pride of seeing the Royal Navy bringing the newest Aircraft carrier into Portsmouth, an absolutely fantastic sight, now, I just can't wait to see her showing off her fixed Wing Squadrons
A lot of countries don't allow nuclear power vessels to dock that is why British ships are conventional
Pompy was over run by yanks 2 weeks ago .
All the pubs around the hard were full of them .
Friendly and fun they were , I bet the pubs did a roaring trade .
Bet the Brass houses did too :P
I like the clean look of the HMS Queen Elizabeth
t` Oggin will soon sort that out!
Should be clean, it's brand new (I know...).
Yea like a new car off the lot haha
Seriously now - the British have always made good _ships_ - underneath whatever their role might be there is always a good seaworthy ship.
Nothing like the new car smell.... She maybe a waste of money, but frankly, for our money she is impressive and awesome....
A glorious vessel, not everyone is talking us down, it's time to restore our pride and do the best for this nation.
Looking forward to the HMS Queen Elizabeth sailing side by side with the USS Gerald Ford. Both represent the best of the best in our respective navies and our strong resolve for keeping the seas lanes open and free. Long live the NATO alliance. God bless the British Commonwealth, Japan and other freedom loving nations. Go Navy Go.
I say congrats to all the engineers and tradesmen that have put their sweat into the making of this behemoth! too often their work goes over looked!
She is absolutely magnificent!.... It's reassuring to see that there is still technological know how in britain to produce such a great carrier
Great footage , watching from Toronto .. grew up in Southsea , brings back memories of going onboard HMS Ark Royal at Navy Days .. and watching her sail in & out of Pompey harbour on her way to & from the Falklands War. Thanks for uploading
Damn ! This is a Rolls Royce :) Happy Navy Day!
Great to see we (UK) have a carrier again, with more to come! As an island we need to protect ourselves. and others around the globe. I for one am proud of here.
A buddy of mine was a supervisor on the building crew of this great ship and while visiting him in Scotland last Sept I got an up close view of her in dry dock, what a wonderful ship!!! Way to go William!!!!!
Now that's a beautiful modern carrier.
I hope that someday HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH will make a port call to NY City, perhaps for one of the Fleet Week celebrations. I live nearby and would be thrilled to be able to take a tour of her if the RN opened her up to the public during such a port visit. I am also looking forward to the commissioning of her sister ship, HMS PRINCE of WALES. May God bless always the men and women of Her Majesty's Armed Forces, especially the men and women who sail in the RN's ships. May God also bless and keep the UK and what she stands for always.
Could be possible next year, she's scheduled to visit the US east coast to pick up its F-35B and begin flight trials along with the US Marines.
The latest Audit report reckons its looking like QE IOC will be pushed up if all things go well, 2020 timeframe.
USA & UK together and no other country can touch US....
Very exciting, hope to serve on it one day! Also gotta love the light jazz in the background :)
Same here. Hopefully after uni in 2021, I'll start applying to serve in the Fleet Arm Air =)
Im going to drive down to Pompey tomorrow, take some fantactic pictures of the Biggest Royal Naval ship ever to be commissioned. Max top speed 33 Knots. Range 12000 miles which is the other side of the world (New Zealand)
Her sister Ship HMS Prince of Wales will be lauched next year.
Max top speed 33 knots? That's odd. It was about 25 the last time I checked Wikipedia. 33 knots on two shafts in a 70,000-ton displacement ship running diesel-electric gen-sets? ROFLMAO. You better wait and see if the damn thing moves under its own power before making claims like that. U.S. Iowa-class battleships with a hell of a lot more hydrodynamic hulls, steam turbines, 4 screws and what many knowledgeable marine engineers consider the finest oil-fired steam-turbine powerplants ever built and possible to build needed 200,000+ shaft horsepower to knock down 30+ knots. Your little diesel-electric toy aircraft carrier ain't got the smoke to run that speed on its best day, chief. And so far its done nothing but blow some big clouds of black smoke on the one or two occasions somebody got pictures of it "running" and to date I don't believe there is any video footage of it sailing under its own power. It "met" the Queen Elizabeth "ocean liner" while sitting still. And by the way, does it ever occur to you folks that its really hard to believe you're creative enough to come up with anything new in the way of ships when you can't even come up with new names for your "monarchs"? I know "Great Britain" is the most inbred "country" on Earth, but Jesus you folks don't have to demonstrate it by re-using monarch names over and over.
DEEREMEYER1 HMS Prince of Wales was formally named by the Duchess of Cornwall on 9th September 2017. She has a top speed of 30 knots.
Josh Hilton Pompey is the nick name for Portsmouth.
Each ship features two power MT30 Gas turbines, that according to Rolls Royce are part of their efforts pioneering the use of aero-derivative gas turbines:
“Rolls-Royce pioneered the use of aero-derivative gas turbines in marine propulsion, primarily for naval vessels. The MT30 Gas turbines that power the Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers are the most powerful in-service gas turbines in the world.
Designed for the 21st century navies, the MT30 integrates the very latest in gas turbine technology to give efficiency and reliability with a market leading power to weight ratio. It has been designed to minimise maintenance costs and first entered service in 2008 powering the US Navy’s first littoral combat ship - USS Freedom.
Produced in Bristol, the MT30 Gas turbine and alternator sets are each located under one of the ships islands.”
Navies rarely give accurate estimations of speed, preferring to keep potential opponents guessing, but HMS Queen Elizabeth has comfortably exceeded her original maximum and it’s estimated by some that the design is capable of 32 knots.........ukdefencejournal.org.uk/hms-queen-elizabeth-exceeds-stated-maximum-speed-trials/
USS Freedom Class and type: Freedom-class littoral combat ship
Displacement: 3,500 t (3,900 short tons) (full load)[2]
Length: 378 ft (115 m)
Beam: 57.4 ft (17.5 m)
Draft: 12.8 ft (3.9 m)
Installed power: Electrical: 4 Isotta Fraschini V1708 diesel engines, Hitzinger generator units, 800 kW (1,100 hp) each
Propulsion: 2 Rolls-Royce MT30 36 MW (48,000 hp) gas turbines, 2 Colt-Pielstick diesel engines, 4 Rolls-Royce waterjets
Speed: 47 knots (87 km/h; 54 mph) (sea state 3)[3]
Range: 3,500 nmi (6,500 km; 4,000 mi) at 14 knots (26 km/h; 16 mph)[2]
Now all we need is some aircraft and we're good to go.
That's exactly, what british people need at the moment, isn't it?
We will need this lady if we get any trouble getting OUR YES OUR fishing grounds back, she's worth ever penny .
The "Labour" opposition front bench must be crying watching this.
PMSL.
A wonderful site a British aircraft carrier sailing into Portsmouth to project British power once again.....
What a stunning sight 😍
Nice carrier Britain, from the US here
HOLY MOTHER OGF GOD THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL SHIP!!!!!
There is a marked resemblance to the USS Enterprise CVN-65 which was decommissioned in 2012 after 52 years of Service.
Don't mind me. Just sitting here basking in the salty, salty tears of all the haters.
Just think of the thousands of jobs a program like this supports - that's what pays for the NHS. Unemployed workers, or workers in foreign countries don't.
We should build a third carrier and increase defense spending to 2.5% of GDP
Zeeshan Shabbir Nah, 2 is plenty for what we need them for. Priority really needs to be to boost the fleet of Type 45 destroyers and build small helicopter carriers for ASW operations.
Nice to see her arriving home. The editing team need a kick up the ass for the poor quality of the end product production wise but still great to see.
WOW!! LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT OCEAN!
Glad to see it is properly equipped with a launching ramp. Modern.
the biggest refugee taxi in the fleet now
paul bennett You are so wrong aren’t you.
HOVERCRAFT!! I remember crossing the channel in a hovercraft with my family, to France. (Early 80's) Seriously, it's the only way! It was fantastic, real happy memory
well, of course. it is extremely impressive ! that's the whole point ..
Very proud! All the best to the chaps and dudettes of surface fleet and FAA Squadrons that will serve with her! She's like Lusty on steroids! Welcome home to Pompey! :o)
Great video. Thanks!
I look forward to the day when HMS Queen Elizabeth embarks her F-35B fighters and attains full operational capability. It really is a shame that the French Navy did not avail itself of the opportunity to build a sister ship with cats. At some point, they will need to retire and replace their sole a/c carrier, FNS CHARLES DE GAULLE.
Hey look at 14:13 i cant believe how much that island looks like a submarine.
The size of that ship is measurable!
,
HMS QE should be good with that Swedish steel. Not sure what was wrong with British steel! Nice to see the Royal Navy with a aircraft carrier again. She does look awsum.
AWESOME
I love how the haters cry about how terrible the British are. I love how you communicate your hatred in our mother tongue. Ha ha ha ha.
Good. Now build more surface combatants to keep it safe.
Where was I?
Godspeed anyways. May she defend and protect .
Robert Healy
Bad ass boat.... Finish her twin.....
What kind of ship is big and beautiful ,Floating fortress
Imagine what the NHS could of done with 3 billion pounds...
spanked it on overpaid managers, quango and poor equipment choices most likely given the poor state it has been managed lately.
given the NHS takes 9.9% of the country's GDP as opposed to the MOD that takes somewhere in the region of 1.98 to 2.21 of GDP depending on where you get the numbers
Thank heavens that we had the luck to have a good strong German family to create the empire and make us strong.
Our present Queen, Bizzy Lizzy and her husband Phil the Sauerkraut are both the great, great grandchildren of Queen StickyVicky. Or put another way, they are 2nd cousins, once removed… By then it was surprising that the in-breeds didn’t resemble the cast of ‘the Hills have eyes’. They did, and still do however, behave like them.
Over grown LHA. Still nice to see Britain to be able to project her power from the sea again.
"Carrier has arrived"
This Carrier cost more than the Falkland Islands.
Whenever theres a war, they claim that theres abudant amount of oil and gas, the truth is that the last big oilfields where NorthSea, Alaska and Siberia and they where found in 69 70 and 71.
I was there when it arrived
Impressive, but what's with the gigantic superstructures?
Rule Britannia! Britannia rules the waves!
Is that 820 embarked?
yup, 820 and their aems have already begun spilling oil in the hangar lol
Haha! You have no idea how much that made me giggle :P
it's got to be christened ha ha, oil, rubber fuel and pinkies leaving tiny clipped wire and insulation all over the shop, some POs don't like mess, but the best know that their mob are busy if there's oil and clippings everywhere.. except for the flight deck of course ha ha
Shortage of crew throughout the Navy, no Catapult fitted (yet) . Our entire heli fleet on
board (for PR) and we have more Admirals than ships! We need a service chief with backbone.
But it should have been fitted and will eventually be fitted.
I take it from your words you cannot read.
He`s right about the manning shortage though, just ask the guys on the D class barges.
The Royal Navy could always resort to impressment again...
Quite a few Yanks were Pressed back in Nelsons day but in 2017 the USCG do it for cash :P
The nations, not so blest as thee,
Must, in their turns, to tyrants fall;
While thou shalt flourish great and free,
The dread and envy of them all.
Rule Britannia!
love you
I am so excited for the UK and think they named her appropriately.
still say it should have its own anti missile system.
fred wilson Doesn’t need it.
Does anyone know how the funding for this works? I'm guessing the navy gets a share of the defence budget which then years ago it had saved up enough to spend on this project?
Thats a pretty good summary of MOD procurement strategy!
A grey ship on grey water with a grey sky, what's could be more British than this fine picture of blandness hahaha
Its a shame there are no sea Harriers on the deck , would look col then :-)
Jonathan Vogel Harriers are obsolete.
I want to go see that
So remind me, when will we be selling it to India or Brazil?
VaucluseVanguard Never you idiot.
was sollen die ganzen kleinen Boote? Muss der Träger im Hafen dermaßen beschützt werden oder sind die nur
alle " mächtig wichtig"
yes!! its got helicopters and ev... its got helicopters..
2017 and recording in mono, really? This ship deserves Stereo atleast.
Why are there two conning towers?
Yeah! She looks really stealthy
wow
How much does she weigh
james mccaughey 70k tonnes
Seems like a great ship with lots of innovate features. My only criticism is that it should have been nuclear powered.
Hi/ to make my reply simple, the American and french nuclear aircraft carriers require a battle group to protect them from her enemies , ! The British take the view that the Battle group is not nuclear powered so what’s the point of having a non refuelling aircraft carrier when the whole battle group needs refuelling. Logic or not ?
What's harder to land? The Queen Elizabeth or Queen Elizabeth? 🤓
Even her stern frowns
Shame thay disbanded the sea harrier.
Ian Porter Harrier is obsolete.
Awesome but didnt some randomer mange to land a cheap r.c drone on it no problems??
Beautiful ship, but why two islands? Seems like a waste of valuable flight deck space.
It's conventionally powered so it requires a certain amount of space in the islands for exhausts, if you look at most other conventionally powered carriers they have one much longer island.
This just makes better use of that space, puts navigation and flight ops in better positions for their roles, but provides redundancy in case of damage, helps with flight deck stability, reduces interference between the long and medium range radars and separates the two main engines (As they're directly below the islands to reduce the amount of exhausts that run through the ship).
I'd hate to have to parallel park that thing
Must be a pain serving out the daily rum ration to that many sailors.
If she wasn't called the HMS Queen Elizabeth I'd call her HMS Madonna, for obvious reasons.
burtlangoustine1
Are you saying she's a talentless , dried up , ugly old hag who's clearly insane?
I'm sure someone can explain the reason. Why was the QE flying the Blue Ensign rather than the White Ensign, is it because she is not operational and is still part of the reserve fleet?
@Tom she was running at 29.2 knots briefly yesterday on AIS (ahem) so it all looks peachy. Does anybody know why, if you can answer, why we never see the S1850M rotating? In every video I see its almost always static. Can this be used as a staring array since its a PESA set or is 997 deemed enough during trials?
Pablo Jay Initial sea trials are testing the hull, propulsion machinery, auxiliary machinery, steering gear, and hundreds of inter related main & auxiliary systems, that also includes fresh water, heating & air conditioning, electrical distribution, galleys, refrigeration etc etc, once those systems are proven and the ship is sound they will move ahead with bringing all the other departments up to operational levels, which includes sensors. There will be a big set of trials just to bring the flight deck into use efficiently. In my opinion most probably the last system to go live will be the CIWS just before HMS Queen Elizabeth commissions, there will most likely be a requirement to give her a small refit including defect rectification prior to commissioning into service too, there's a very long list to run through before then.
@BungFu, cheers for taking the time to reply, makes total sense, I guess since the MR and LR sets are proven technology fingers crossed their work ups will go smoothly.
Hope the snag list isn't too long!
I came here to laugh at the comments.
We need safety as well as the NHS. We spend £147 billions on the NHS & care and £45 billion on defence....
my brother is on that
In the background the sonho "Girl from Ipanema".
Song.
Never thought I'd be praising Blair for ANYTHING!
Why would that carrier need 2 super-structures? Looks inefficient in design. Should have contracted the USA to build you your new supercarrier.
It's splitting the standard long island design that conventionally powered carriers have. It comes with a few advantages, better positions for their respective roles (Flight ops and navigation), better flight deck stability, reduces the interference between the long range and medium range radars and provides some redundancy as both can perform each others roles in the event of damage.
The two main engines are also placed directly below the islands as it's using an electric propulsion system, so the ducting just needs to go directly up, saving on space. Splitting them helps reduce the risk of damage to both.
Basically using the same if not less space than it otherwise would have and comes with a fair few advantages, a couple of other countries are starting to design carriers in a similar style.
I bet the USN next carriers post Ford class will have twin islands.

The carrier should be in the Mediterranean off North Africa Coast. The carrier is gonna be a State of the Art Customs. To provide , beds, food, clinical activities providing MRI scans, surgeries, English schools, printing British Passports to "new" British citizens and creating jobs! Fishermen!
Sad
when she and her sister ship are operational, the world will be a slightly safer place
Special Android err...how exactly? Two warships is hardly going to make difference to screaming allahu akbars, the only real threat to us right now.
send them to bombard the allahu akbars :D
Yeah. Right. Because the Brits have such a "peaceful" history and even more so when the idiots in London have new "toys" to show off. This piece of shit wasn't even out of its "dock" getting drug around by tugboats yet and the Brits were already mouthing off about what a badass ship it is. I don't think there is video of it sailing under its own power yet, is there? But it's already "due for a scheduled refit in 2018". Its "sister ship" is going to "take its place" during "workups" for actual flight operations with F-35s after its own "sea trials" which puts it in 2020 before any "flight operations" happen on either ship at the earliest as far as real-deal operational capability.
Its already a foregone conclusion one piece of shit will be in "refit" while the other piece of shit is "operational" and the British "government" has been talking about missions to respond to "natural disasters" being a main "priority". Gonna be a little hard to fight a war tied up to the dock in some 3rd-world "Commonwealth" country's harbor playing "gen-set" as the piss-poor "people of color" aka "natives" play "rebuild the shacks" while white British "naval officers" sit on their toy boat and watch through binoculars. Between afternoon tea and "pour-out", of course.
My guess is that as usual, if there is a "real war", God forbid, or some worthwhile military mission in a real shithole area of the planet that is that way because of centuries of British interference and imperialism, and there is a major effort at building a "coalition", the Brits will find something "offensive" in a "colony" or "overseas territory" to respond to. An Argentine flag flying over British soil or an "uprising" in Sierra Leone or a "natural disaster" that will prevent either of these floating jokes from going to war in any real capacity.
And no doubt about the time the old lady in the crown kicks the bucket and Prince Inbred takes the throne there will be an "around the world tour" or two with King Dipshit commandeering his mommy's ship or his own namesake "warship" to go "show the flag". Then it'll be time for a "refit". Marine diesels aren't terribly reliable and usually they power "disposable" ships like tankers, freighters, etc. And those alternators and motors will need brush replacement and the Brits will as usually find plenty of reason to have their "warships" parked at home where they're handy for "royal jubilees" and other important functions.
How many liters of petrol does it use , it needs it's own gas station right behind it
Diesel. It has a big tank so no problem and doesn't take a year and hundreds of millions to refuel like nuclear carriers.
t43562 but I thought the government are saying diesel is bad now and we shouldn't be using it?
In cars in a city with lots of people, no. In a ship out at sea, it's not such a problem and there really isn't much of an alternative for ships this size - other than nuclear which is many times more expensive.
Fully tanked it has a range of 12000 miles.
