Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers are the biggest warships ever built for the Royal Navy – and the most advanced. They’re our nation’s flagships, and will be for the next 50 years, as they embark on our most vital global deployments.



HMS Queen Elizabeth has already been accepted to the fleet, while HMS Prince of Wales is still under construction at Rosyth dockyard in Scotland. Each represents four acres of sovereign territory and serves as a symbol of our international influence.
