Britain's New Aircraft Carrier Arrives At Home Port

Description

CNN has reported that Britain's largest aircraft carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth, arrived at its home port in Portsmouth on Wednesday making its first public appearance. The £3 billion ship, which is 280 meters long, displaces 65,000 tons and has a top speed in excess of 25 knots, sailed from Scotland to the south coast of England where it will be based before becoming fully operational in 2023. The vessel, which has a crew of around 700, will eventually hold 1,600 people once it houses F-35B jets and Crowsnest helicopters.
