A City so good, they named it twice.
We are proud (and fairly excited!) to be the first UK Aircraft Carrier in New York for nearly a decade. Until we arrive; here is a photo of HMS ARK ROYAL in the Hudson Jun '57

We leave with some cracking imagery from @ManOnaPlanet

#MondayMotivation in abundance as we fly into the last week of #JW202.
The potent mix of sustained land, sea and air domination projected by the 🇬🇧 led @NATO #CarrierStrike Group means victory is near.

Merlins 🚁 from @846NAS have landed on and will work with @HMSQNLZ to maintain aviation currency.

4 years ago our Lady Sponsor, Her Majesty The Queen, named 65k tonne HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH.
In the words of then First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir Zambellas: “The naming of HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH heralds a new dawn not only for the Royal Navy but for the delivery of our Nation’s security”.

We have seen it go vertical, seen it in the hover and seen it impressively pull vapour @airtattoo However, in an ‘slightly’ biased view, we just want to see #F35ondeck Tick, Tock.....

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!

Few can lay claim to having an 'office' as cool as the one this @RoyalNavy F-35 pilot is snapped walking away from here today. Kudos too though to the hundreds of engineers, mechanics and scientists we have onboard, who keep these tremendous aircraft flying #FlyNavy #WESTLANT19

Well of course, one of our countdown days had to be dedicated to the #F35.
Even after 3 years, the presence, noise and operation of them are still spine tingling.
Sit back, turn up the volume and enjoy the 2020 maritime lightning show ⚡⚓.

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
