I don't care how many years experience the Capt has, even with the Mersey Pilot on the bridge, he/she must of had a squeaky bum at that handbrake turn! Great video history mate.
Haha most of my spelling mistakes are down to the E. It does not always register and sometimes delayed when pressed it’s mad. Just lucky you know where you are :)
Nobody had much interest in HMS Invincible either until a. Maggie Thatcher tried to sell her to Australia and b. she went to the South Atlantic to help reign in Argentina.
These ignorant Muppets must think that an Aircraft carrier travels the high seas with all her Aircraft on deck. They think a Hangar is something to hang your Kecks on 🤣🤣
@@stephenleek3097 No it has had ONE failure when a coupling failed which was fixed and while in dry dock they called forward a major upgrade. Including the Bedford Array with which you will be familiar of course. Just intrigued why nuggets like you rejoice when anything we do has a problem. Seems sort of ... I dunno ... pathetic.
@@stephenleek3097 Apart from which I would have thought a seasoned Sea Admiral like yourself would have known the real reason why tugs are used in port areas.
@ This sounds like Father Dougal. ☘️It hasn’t got a permanent squadron of aircraft as yet. .It rotates with its sister to give the allusion of warfare ability. More US Navy aircraft have deck landed than RAF or Fleet Air Arm. Now go take Father Jack for his jog😇😇
@@jonmac3995 All 8 of them! What a joke. We bought F35Bs that as STOL aircraft are inferior to the F35Cs modified for carrier operation, despite that the fact that the 2 Queen Elizabeth class carriers are large enough to accommodate catapults and arresting gear. Complete waste of my money from start to finish.
Oh Dear Lord not another bright Spark peddling this old overused garbage.... No graham UK aircraft carriers have aircraft assigned at sea. So when heading to port the aircraft are released. You know to do other things. Like training.
@@grahamcook9289 ..... why do you quote this '8 of them' garbage Graham? If you have a valid criticism why peddle stupid lies? 1. We have 38 (1 was lost) F-35s delivered of the first 48 paid for. The slow delivery is down to US President Biden's politicking. 2. The F-35B has exactly the same sensor and stealth capabilities as the 'C' variant. 3. UK F-35Bs have launched off STOVL with 22,000 Ibs of weapons on many occasions while the F-35C can only launch with 18,000 Ibs of weapons off CATOBAR. As quoted on the LM website. So its wrong to say the 'B' is 'inferior' to the 'C'. Especially as first sorties are launched far quicker off a ramp than a Cat. 4. F-35Cs are not 'modified for carrier operation'. They are built for it. 5. The WQEs are indeed capable of fitting CATOBAR and are passively engineered for later fitment. BUT in 2010 neither Converteam UK or GA in the USA could give guarantees of a) price, b) performance or c) reliability. We would have had to fund the development. Its why the USS Gerald R Ford cost $18 Bn and the two QEs cost a combined $10 Bn. And 7 years after launch the Ford can still not launch reliably. 6. I would suggest two 70,000 ton supercarriers that can go round the world (as proven) and launch 5th Gen fighters faster than a Nimitz are terrific value for money. 7. For what the Yanks paid for two Ford Class ($30 Bn) we could build 6 x QEs.... The only waste is the oxygen nuggets like you steal .....
An aircraft Carrier going into the Mersey. Set all run sailors being very proud of patriotic. I'm there is not 1 plain or helicopter in sight. When you see the yanks, call me then to the ports. They are thirty or forty planes and harry copters i'm full display
It’s only any use for picking up the Muslim Invasion Force of illegal immigrants from French Coast and bring them safely to England , plenty of room on deck without any aircraft taking up space
It looks like it's being towed to the scrapyard. Can't be long till it is for real. What a waste of 8 billion, especially as I lost a year of my state pension to pay for it!!! God, it makes me so angry. Bloody Tony Blair.
@@adeparkinson Once Bliar had given in to the Navy Brass and gave his approval to proceed, which he and Brown paid for by raising the state pension age from 65 to 66, now 67 for most people. Neither aircraft carrier has been deployed to a hostile environment, nor are they ever likely to be. They are under equipped, with only 8 F35Bs ever being embarked, and without catapult and arrester wires, they continue to have no fixed-wing AEW, instead relying on inferior helicopter AEW. There RN paid the price for that with the Invincible class mini carriers in the Falklands War. You would have thought that the RN would have put that right when they built full size replacements by adding launch catapults and arrester landing gear. For the Middle-east hotspot RAF Akrotiri on Cyprus continues to be the UK's only carrier of note. No doubt Dear Leader Starlin wants to ditch the Cyprus bases ASAP and give the Cypriots lots of money to do so, just like Diego Garcia.
One ship cost £3.5 Bn not £8 Bn and how did you lose anything to pay for it given most of it was funded after 2010 ...?? I never lost my State Pension but Starmer stole my WFA.
She has a full complement of aircraft as and when needed. She has just been up to Glen Mallen to bomb up as she is taking over flagship whilst in port. Why waste money having planes aboard when in port?
Well done and thank you for the time and effort you put into that for us!
thanx
Paul Frost many thanks videos were brill. Gave me a chance to see a bit of history in the making.

Cracking Video Paul, Top quality thanks for sharing
Thanks 👍
Saw her yesterday while having a weekend away in Liverpool
My dad told me “don’t ever buy a boat, just make friends with somebody who has one” lol maybe Tony Blair should have heard that.
Wasn't Tony Blair. It was Gordon Brown that ordered them.
Pubs , bars and fights ahoy!--The Mobs arrived!
Spot on Paul, another excellent video. 👍
thanx
Great video 👍
Thanks
What a beauty!
Brilliant
Excellent vid, well done!⚓
thanx
great bit of filming!

Looks so impressive; just when will she be equipped with aircraft & ‘copters?
Very good video 👍
Thank you 👍
Brilliant coverage as always, Paul. I couldn't make its arrival due to worrk commitment's. Hope you are well
hello John great to hear from you.
Busy day at McDonald's then. 😂
Great video, thanks.
Curious, what camera did you use ?
A Sony ax53
Did not know he could swim that far in a kilt
We can see you got it started again but you can't leave it there matey 😋
Thanks for posting..but Mersey spelt like this not as Mrseey lol
Haha most of my spelling mistakes are down to the E. It does not always register and sometimes delayed when pressed it’s mad. Just lucky you know where you are :)
Reminds me of star wars the movie but on water
How much is the parking charge the council is issuing for this big boat?
probably to much
Great vid
thanx
Great footage.
Better make sure all the doors are locked and the wheels having locking nuts!!!
There's always one isn't there and you are it.
@ looks like you can’t count too well!!
Go on, tell us where you’re from. Obviously from somewhere where cousins marry if you think aircraft Carriers have wheels🤔
I'm sure people have got to wear stab vests when they visit your area.
@ got my stab vest knicked when I was in Knowsley….🤣
Bit sloppy lining the deck - they need to mark out equal spaces to get it right.
this is significant, but why now?
They are here to receive freedom of the city
@veryhighguy awesome. Nice to know they have our backs too.
Does not have name painted on it?
The Name is painted on it. It's on the Bow, just below the Ski Ramp.

The aircraft fly off to their home base before the ship docks.

They keep multi million pound jets on deck so they can be exposed to the elements unnecessarily . ;-)
