News travels as fast as lightning. Another #StrikeCarrier day for us, just that we now have the largest #5thGen Air Group, at sea, in the world. With the pilots now inducted it will be busy times ahead as we head into #Groupex and #JW202. ⚡️🇬🇧Lightning has Struck🇺🇸⚡️
A @NATO force to be reckoned with is now assembled in the North Sea. This is #CarrierStrike, this is #5thGen power projection - headed by the 🇬🇧 #StrikeCarrier and the 🇬🇧 Carrier Strike Group. Let the games begin... #WeAreHere #WeAreNATO #JW202 🇬🇧 ⚓ 🇺🇸 ⚓ 🇳🇱 ⚡ 🇬🇧 ⚓ 🇺🇸 ⚓ 🇳🇱
🚨Hostile Aircraft Inbound🚨 #StrikeCarrier daily business as one of our pairs take off in Alert 5 Mode using the stream launch technique. #DoubleTrouble then practiced air combat dogfighting against #Typhoon and other #F35s. #TopGun? Yeah, but 🇬🇧 & better 👊🏻 🔊🆙️
Protect our Nation and our interests 🇬🇧 #StrikeCarrier Project air and maritime superiority ⚓ #CarrierStrike Promote British engineering and military capability 🌍 #GlobalBritain 65,000 tonnes of proven versatility. #SupercarrierSunday #WeAreQE
3 years ago we took a modern feat of 🇬🇧 #engineering into open water for the first time. Tonight, we thank everyone that was involved in building that 65,000 tonne Ship, which is now 🇬🇧's #StrikeCarrier. #Rosyth #Scotland @GREATBritain #Shipbuilding @QEClassCarriers #ThankYou
If on land, we would have received a noise abatement order by now. Our deck is positively bustling 24hrs a day with 🇬🇧 fixed and rotary wing flying. Last night we squeezed in @27_Sqn @RoyalAirForce Chinooks to re-qualify their pilots on the UK #StrikeCarrier. #WokkaWokka
Remember last year when our hangar looked cramped with a couple of jets and few helos? During #GROUPEX, inside space will be at a premium as we pack in 2 fixed & a full rotary air wing. Outside, a @NATO taskgroup will be operating with us at its heart. 🇬🇧🇺🇳 #StrikeCarrier
