- 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.

Auggy seems like the person that would make your day by just seeing him. What a lovely personality :)
Yeah, fantastic guy
he should get his own show
@Edward Longshanks 🙄 wow - Wouldn't want to think like you.
@Edward Longshanks you're projecting sweetie x
@Edward Longshanks Vile comment
you'll be remember auggy, by everyone you made smile
There's always two types of shipmate you remember. The "Auggie" and the Arse!!!
People like auggy make the navy great. Need more like him
We need Auggy in charge of the F35 rain covers!!!
he used to work for my dad, hes now left queen elizabeth and is working as a recruitment officer
@@Jacky-so8gm funny how a rating can br a recruitment officer...
@@emmy9345 hes joined the recruitment divison
@@Jacky-so8gm i know what u meant just being cheeky
What a great bunch. Auggy seems like a legend.
I’m proud to see our besties have two fantastic aircraft carriers again. Love to see our U.S. Marines embarked onboard Liz with y’all. Auggy is a wonderful representative for your Fleet.
I thought they were our US Marine Corps...the camera wasn't on them long. I spent 3 days aboard the HMS Amazon when it was in the States in 92. Great ship and crew !
@@baronedipiemonte3990 -Amazon! All I can picture is the Amazon logo on a ship!
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!
@@baronedipiemonte3990 Yep, an F-35B squadron: VMFA-211, the Wake Island Avengers.
@@jonathanrice1070 Actually, it's a woman's head on the ships crest. And I don't know who "she" is...
Auggy is a legend, motivated me to get to work this morning through his energy!
@01:30 when a British sailor was cooler than the US Marines coming the other way.
What a great lad and what an attitude. BZ Auggy.
lol pretending that Africans are British 🤦♂️😂 yeah im sure if this guy did a 23 and me it would should that his ancestry is from the British isles
@@scottjohnstontheii9287 The guy is not 'African' he is from Grenada in the West Indies. It was in the film if you had paid attention. So he holds British Nationality.
You don't have to come from the British Isles to be a) British and b) serve in the Royal Navy.
@@1chish Thank you for pointing that out. Scott Johnston is clueless.
@@scottjohnstontheii9287 and typical thick scot has no idea where Grenada is and that he would hold duel nationality and therefore can joined royal navy
Auggy, What a character and a superb advert for anyone thinking of joining the modern navy. Give him a job with forces news, he'd be brilliant
As an Airman, it's GREAT to see the cohesion of a perfectly well-oiled machine of top of the line sailors just doing their jobs with excellence. Really puts things in perspective and makes you appreciate the wonderful team you've got on your side, even from a different nation's perspective. Y'all are outstanding.
OMG what an amazing young man Auggy is.. I'd be proud if he was my son.. The Royal Navy should be proud to have him and proud of the Royal Navy for training and giving these young people a fantastic career and future.. Well done to everyone xx 😊
Auggy your a credit to your parents 👏👏👏👏🏴🇬🇧
Auggy seems like the type of guy who makes your day alot better.
Auggy could read me the worst bad news and i would feel better!
He should narrate the best comments on ARRSE!
Besides the racists ones.
@@IslandWork1 everything is racist nowadays. tough
Amazing work as always by the Senior Service!! Hoping and praying that all the ship's company will be home for Christmas
Should be in a retirement home.
Auggy is the kind of bloke that you seek out when you feel down or have a problem.
He’s just full of positivity! 👍
Reminds me, when I was in High School, had a lad from Grenada, Edgil! He was a quality lad and some good banter. Sadly he works in the merchant bank rather than onboard though!! What a character Auggy is need more like him on such a long tour!
Auggy...you are a joy to behold...have always loved people like you from the West Indies...so dedicated and committed to their work and who also bring a smile to everyone they come into contact with!
We hade some lovely neighbours, Barbara and Clinton who we enjoyed many parties with at our place...he was from
St Lucia...Barbara English, me English of Welsh/Jewish heritage and my wife, Nicole from Paris.
Quite a mixture!

Lol so you are all completely mixed up and don't belong anywhere to any people this is why the ethnic English are the ethnic minority of their own homeland by 2066 🤦♂️😂
Everywhere in the world where people like Auggy are the majority it is third world lmao
What a lad and sailor! Though I hope his service is long, can he please be hired to work at BFBS
virtue virtue virtue signal grovel grovel grovel grovel 🤦♂️😂 you English are the ethnic minority of your own country by 2066 lmao
A massive well done to all the boys and girls that look after us all 👏👏👏
Admiral Auggy Grenada 🇬🇩 in the building so proud!!!!!!!
Nuff respect to the Grenadian posse!
Sp Proud of You Guys and Gals And Great to see Such a Good Vibe Onboard
auggy is a cetified G. I'd love to be on deployment with a guy with that energy
Next Episode: Below the waves with an F35
Lmfao
"We're here in RAF Akrotiri, near where..."
Love oggy.
Great video. Proud of all on board.
Still waiting for video of the amphibious F35... glad pilot got out. Give him a hug...
😅🤣
Auggy seems like a great guy. I bet he's a right laugh to be around. Good to see the RFA in action... I remember looking down at the Ark, not any more! Fair winds...
Auggy and Christie are a credit to our Royal Navy and the whole of H.M. Forces. God Bless them and the lads and lasses.
Forget about politics, war, any moral you may have, it is amazing the vibe, energy they spread. I admire soldiers from all countries that are willing to serve (or die) for whatever they will need to obey with no hesitation....
He seems like a top lad. I like his attitude. We had a lad from Grenada on HMS Westminster, Kerry La Touche who had a similar positive personality. 👍
Our Navy and Personal looking vibrant and truly world class
Can only see good things for us 🇬🇧
Well if something ever happens to the queen elizabeth i'll damn sure be wondering if Auggy is allright!
Auggy what a legend
That was great! Good to see some real characters without being sanitised too much
Great stuff guys and girls, keep it up.
Thank you for sharing great 👍
Brilliant fella
I imagine the crew wakes up with a smile knowing Auggy is around somewhere ready to make cool comments.
Auggy's great.
Shame about the F35 though. At least the pilot is safe. Bet they've got a right job cleaning that mess up though.
Amazing!
auggy coming in like its MTV cribs, amazing!
oggy out here vibin
blessings auggy 👊🏻
I love this bloke
No one has ever said "I like the morning watch" 🤣
The ship's hen should have a medal for laying two million eggs !
More Oggy content
It is prouded that muilt-race environment able to work in a single army force👍
We need more Auggies in the world! What a fantastic personality.
It's just diversity on camera 😞
Auggy you are a credit to that uniform.
Don’t worry Auggy you will be remembered
They're putting Auggy on all the PR stuff 🤣 he was on the BBC a few weeks ago.
Auggy needs to be the ships official spokesman!... He also needs his own channel! Lads a legend! 😂
Hes black so we must get down on our knees and worship and grovel to him 🤦♂️😂 have fun becoming the ethnic minority of yer own country by 2066
@@scottjohnstontheii9287 What a bummy life you live lmfao
It seems all Augustines I've seen or met including myself have a good sense of humor.
Cool place to work
Auggy's a great lad
What the naval staff will learn with the technology on this ship alone. As well as seeing the world is worth serving on this ship.
everyone is saying how class Auggy is, but did anyone notice Matt Smith had stowed away as a chef?
Amazing proud to be British
Auggy is the man and ive never even met him
Are they those submersible jet fighters?
I’m not very good with aircraft recognition, so any help would great 👍🏻
Yes, these aircraft are able to remain underwater for years and years. It's a very advanced design.
Nice
Nautical science on this ship is a very high standard.
God Save The Queen. Long Live The Queen.
You mean sultan
Bad Ass. Auggie is that dude with the vibe of a California Surfer. He's reppin the Royal Navy well!
Auggy what a gizza
What a ledge
I know of one particular F35 that's VERY below decks right now.....
oggy seems like a really nice guy
Commodore Auggy 😎😎
What happened to the F 35?
0:53 Our son. The Hit Man
Make sure those F35s are BFd properly, and blanks are removed.
👍👍👍
Best thing in the naffy is frute paste mentos and bisquits
At 2:11 - cue Jack Whitehall.
Well now 1 less F-35
the meat on those pizza's looked a bit chunkier than Asda's own brand. I might join up.
I spent _a lot_ of my childhood on Invincible.
I've been really interested to see below decks on QE, to see whether the corridors were wider and higher.
They really are aren't they?
Jesus, I know _exactly_ what it smells like down there.
That's a really big NAAFI too.
I hope there's an open day one day, I wanna go poke around.
Jesus? Why do you call out his name?
@@HiTechOilCo
Jebus Saves? 🤣
@@HiTechOilCo It's just an expression.
i'm sure Auggy was in cool runnings
that starch shine on his uniform....cant beelive the forces are still obsessed with starch ironing
Sadly 1 F35 is now in the Med, getting rather wet. Thankfully the pilot is safe!
@Rob Wilton The F-35 that crashed in the Mediterranean Sea was a British one however the cause for the crash is currently unknown. The pilot ejected safely tho.
6:28 🥺
So wait, warfare officers manoeuvre the ship?? I thought that was the seaman specialists?? did I get it wrong??
Yes oggy..
How do I drive a plane off the ramp?
A bit more space now below deck.
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.
we all need an Auggy in our lives.
I don't know much about jet fighters but won't the one under water not be as good as the ones above water 😆
@Rob Wilton lol 😂
When HMS QL was navigating through the Suez canal, was a local pilot allowed on board? As I think someone who isn't Royal Navy wouldn't be allowed on the bridge of such a ship?
I imagine a local pilot would be safer navigating through Suez than the oow!
They are absolute mandated. No pilot no transit through the canal - non negotiable.
@@normanboyes4983 Thanks :)
soooooo, I guess the chicken coops are at the very bottom atop the keel ? ;)
They lost a F35, hope every one is safe.
These planes can’t go against light weather how can they fight the Russians
@@r.p5380 Well they are operating at sea so your light weather statement is ridiculous
@@r.p5380 funny realizing now Russia can't actually go against much else either now can they.
Nutty from the NAAFI...! Oh the memories..... Bill Grooms MEM1 Ark Royal. LMEM Salisbury. LMEM Dundas.
imagine a ship of this size in use for humanitarian missions instead of just for war
So they just gonna ignore the fact that the ship just lost a $100m jet….
content was probably made before the jet was lost..
@@maxsuicide4767 Good point.
How about we also don't ignore the fact the F-35 had incredibility few losses compared to all previous aircraft programs, especially when compared with flight time.
The USN loses a few Hornets each year also. Attrition is normal. Wait for the official accident report.
@@FirstDagger US Marine Corps just lost another F-18 yesterday in California, and unfortunately the pilot didn't make it.
@@Gsmooth10455 ; Sad to hear. Thanks for the info.
Thank goodness for the Commonwealth.
@Edward Longshanks then don’t play god and meddle with foreign nations and you won’t have to be associated with the
Home for Christmas minus 92 million quids worth of F35 😬
I love aircraft carriers and F-35! So 😎
Because when the on board Bar isn't enough you can Just stop of at you're local coffee Shop 😂😂
