White Elephant Mk11 sails into Portsmouth Archived Message Posted by Mary on November 17, 2019, 12:30 pm God job they didn't name it after his younger brother. 'The Royal Navy's newest aircraft carrier, HMS Prince of Wales, has been welcomed by thousands of people as it sailed into Portsmouth for the first time. Shipping lanes were closed and an air exclusion zone was put in place for the arrival of the £3.1bn warship. The welcome included a fly-past of two Hawk jets and a Wildcat helicopter. It is the sister ship of HMS Queen Elizabeth, which has been based in Portsmouth since August 2017. The ships are the most expensive to have ever been built for the Royal Navy. They can be docked next to each other in Portsmouth Naval Base after £30m work was completed. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-50445695 Relics of the Brown/BLiar period at No 10.
