HMS Prince of Wales

Well we are finally on our way to France, having just left Portsmouth. Just after leaving we passed the HMS Prince of Wales aircraft carrier. It was launched in December 2017 and has only recently completed sea trials.
Her flight deck is 70 metres wide and 280 metres long – enough space for three football pitches – and she holds 45 days’ worth of food in stores.
As we passed it looked pretty deserted in the grey early evening drizzle.
