That feeling when you get home late at night and someone’s in your parking spot! 😂
Don’t worry @HMSDefender, we think it’s the best berth @HMNBPortsmouth too!

Whilst we were going to use footage of our encounter with #StormCiaraUk, rather we promote the audacious work of our fellow seafarers @RNLI
Whilst we may protect 🇬🇧 waters in different spheres our work is equally important.
For those in peril on the sea 🌊⚓ twitter.com/RNLI/status/12…

How far has HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH come on in the last 16 weeks?
90 seconds of us working our way back to carrier strike, able to protect 🇬🇧 and our allies interests worldwide. From the sea, on land and in the air.
And this is only one of our roles.

Most of the Ships crew only see the jets fly through the internal TV system (aptly named 'Jetflix' (sorry, not sorry @netflix))
Concurrent to a trial, they got to see and hear the power of @thef35 from the flight deck in their bubbles.

Tonight, we thank everyone that was involved in building that 65,000 tonne Ship, which is now 🇬🇧's #StrikeCarrier.

A warm welcome to @820NAS , great to have you on board.
820 bring with them the wizardry 🧙♂️ of the Merlin Mk2, with the addition of the new Crowsnest airborne surveillance system.
The last time we had a Crow's nest on board a navy ship, it was on top of a mast!
