Our predecessor was not part of Operation Overlord.
However HMS WARSPITE, a Queen Elizabeth Class Battleship, was the first to open fire on D-Day in support of landings by the British 3rd Div on Sword Beach.
She is also the most battle honoured ship in the @RoyalNavy

Ask a sailor, they will say that a day alongside is a day wasted. This day will be an exception though.
Whilst @HMSPWLS gets ready to welcome us back to our birthplace, we can't wait to welcome our little sister home to #Portsmouth
We may even let her use OUR jetty sometime 😉

Banish the January blues; we are one month closer to #Westlant19🇺🇸
2019 will see us further, safely, tailor @thef35 to 4.5-acres of Sovereign Power along with expanding the capability of our Ship and crew.
Cannot wait to get these immense flying machines back on deck though 🇬🇧

Pleased to say we are going back to Scotland for our first planned dry dock maintenance period.
A last chance to meet our sister Ship @HMSPWLS before she sets sail and 🇬🇧 has both her biggest, most advanced Aircraft Carriers at sea.
