HMS Queen Elizabeth is a British Royal Navy aircraft carrier that serves as the flagship of the Royal Navy. The ship is named after the Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, the wife of King George VI, and is the second ship to bear this name, the first being the HMS Queen Elizabeth (1913), a dreadnought battleship that served during World War I and the Interwar period. The new HMS Queen Elizabeth is part of the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier program, which also includes the HMS Prince of Wales (R09), and is designed to replace the Invincible-class aircraft carrier and the Harrier Jump Jet. The ship's construction involved several major British Shipbuilding companies, including BAE Systems, Thales Group, and Rolls-Royce Holdings.

● History

The concept of the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier was first proposed in the 1990s by the Royal Navy and the Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom), with the goal of creating a new generation of aircraft carriers that could replace the Invincible-class aircraft carrier. The project was approved in 2007, and the construction of the HMS Queen Elizabeth began in 2009 at the Rosyth Dockyard in Scotland, with the keel laying ceremony attended by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The ship was launched in 2014, and after a series of sea trials, it was officially commissioned into the Royal Navy in 2017. The ship's first commanding officer was Commodore Jerry Kyd, who had previously served on the HMS Ark Royal (R07) and the HMS Illustrious (R06). The HMS Queen Elizabeth has also been involved in several major NATO exercises, including the Exercise Joint Warrior and the Exercise Trident Juncture.

● Design and Construction

The HMS Queen Elizabeth was designed by a team of engineers from BAE Systems, Thales Group, and Rolls-Royce Holdings, with the goal of creating a highly advanced and versatile aircraft carrier. The ship's design is based on the Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) concept, which allows it to operate with a variety of aircraft, including the F-35 Lightning II and the Merlin helicopter. The ship's construction involved the use of advanced materials and technologies, including steel and aluminum alloys, and a gas turbine propulsion system. The HMS Queen Elizabeth is also equipped with a range of advanced sensor and communication systems, including the Type 997 Artisan 3D radar and the SCOT communication system. The ship's design has been influenced by several other aircraft carriers, including the USS Nimitz (CVN-68) and the Charles de Gaulle (R91).

● Operational History

The HMS Queen Elizabeth has been involved in several major operations and exercises since its commissioning in 2017. The ship's first major deployment was to the Mediterranean Sea in 2019, where it participated in the Exercise Saif Sareea 3 with the Royal Air Force and the United States Navy. The ship has also been involved in several NATO exercises, including the Exercise Dynamic Manta and the Exercise Formidable Shield. In 2020, the HMS Queen Elizabeth became the first Royal Navy ship to deploy with the F-35 Lightning II aircraft, which is a key component of the ship's air group. The ship has also been used as a flagship for the Royal Navy, and has hosted several high-profile visitors, including Boris Johnson and Prince Charles.

● Characteristics

The HMS Queen Elizabeth has a range of advanced characteristics that make it one of the most capable aircraft carriers in the world. The ship has a length of 280 meters and a beam of 70 meters, and is powered by a gas turbine propulsion system that gives it a top speed of over 25 knots. The ship is equipped with a range of advanced sensor and communication systems, including the Type 997 Artisan 3D radar and the SCOT communication system. The ship's air group is capable of operating a range of aircraft, including the F-35 Lightning II and the Merlin helicopter. The ship is also equipped with a range of defensive systems, including the Phalanx CIWS and the Goalkeeper CIWS. The HMS Queen Elizabeth has a crew of over 1,000 personnel, and is capable of carrying a range of equipment and supplies, including fuel, ammunition, and food.

● Ships of
