Your bulbous bow is red ♥
Your flight deck lights look blue 💙
Though you may be Ship 2 ⚓
That means...
There's only one better than you 😉

Glorious day, and more importantly; a nice clear deck ready for some sea time.
A busy programme awaits us, lots of flying, gunnery and embedding new Ships Coy before #CSG21.
Stay tuned for departure timings!

🦾 The return of Hellfire 🦾
To stay capable of re-rolling to any seaborne mission we have to remain current with all 🇬🇧 carrier capable aircraft.
This time, the return of my favourite, the @BritishArmy AH-64 Apache 🟩
Capable and and very intimidating💥

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.

My final achievement from the last 3 years bringing you an insider view of this magnificent ship.
Thanks to everyone who has followed the journey so far, what an experience it has been. I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have.

Yesterday we paused to pay our respects to the 379 @RoyalNavy Shipmates who died onboard HMS DASHER (D37) 27 March 1943.
As the Ship stopped over the wreck , we fell silent and remembered.

Our aft island (built at Scotstoun) & Lower Blocks 3 & 4 (built at Govan) have now brought the whole Ship back to the Firth of Clyde.
We will spend the next period at Glenmallan filling up for #CSG21.
Always a pleasure coming back to our roots.

Have a good weekend everyone!
As most of the UK starts to wind down, we continue to load #F35 stores onboard, with the Commodore of the UK Carrier Strike Group's pennant flying.

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!

The Captain officially opened the HMS Queen Elizabeth coffee shop: "the Haven". ☕
For those that want to relax after the last watch or perk themselves up for the next!
Thanks to the NAAFI staff who have helped to facilitate this.
