I hope the captain claimed his 'Green Shield' stamps with that top up!

What shall we do with a drunken sailor

I’d think that’s the last runs ashore these six will be having for awhile.

Look what turned up today on the flight deck!

Argument by the MOD on the merits of aircraft carriers. I think it's a marvellous piece of engineering and a real indicator of a modern navy, but I admit with trends going towards unmanned aircraft and automated warfare I wonder if the carrier really needs to be so big.

Its a huge target!!!!!!!

With todays historic event with the F35 landing on QE, comes news that the first ever crash of an F35 happened today.

News headlines today: Sept. 28, 2018 https://abcnews.go.com/US/cutting-edge-35-stealth-fighter-crashes-south-carolina/story?id=58152917

A Marine F-35B joint strike fighter has crashed close to Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort in Beaufort, South Carolina -- marking the first-ever crash of the costly stealth aircraft, which will become the main fighter aircraft for the Marine Corps, Air Force and Navy, a military official confirms.

Officials say the pilot safely ejected. He's being evaluated for injuries, the local sheriff's office said.

Capt. Bob Bromidge, with the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office, also confirmed to ABC News that a Marine Corps aircraft had crashed in a rural part of Beaufort County.

"The Marine Corps confirmed that it was one of theirs,” Bromidge told ABC News.

The Marine Corps version of the F-35 is able to take off and land vertically.

It's being reported on Twitter by defence analysts that it's possible that the F35 flying programme may be suspended while the cause of the crash is investigated.

For anyone who served on the two Ark Royals or the I class carriers this picture goes along way in showing the sheer size of the QE flight deck!

Is that landing plane delivering a mattress?

Reminds me of a car I saw on its way to the tip on Sunday with a mattress strapped to its roof

It's certainly a different way of recovering aircraft than the previous Queen Elizabeth class vessels in the Royal Navy fleet!

The 2 new aircraft carriers have allegedly cost £6.2 billion. This does not include the running costs. Talk about a misplaced sense of priorities, particularly when all they are is slow moving, already obscelete, flag carrying, easy targets for smart missiles. Really, what ****ing use are they?

I worked for a regular customer who is in the navy a couple of weeks ago, he had just come back from Florida working on the Queen Elizabeth, he was in the bar with the lads who got into trouble, he said it was nothing and got blown out of all proportion by the media because it was her first foreign trip.
The Captain was not very happy about it at all though.

all part of their 'task book of life' Jack works hard and plays even harder. what some of us got up to would make the 10 o'clock news, let alone the newspapers.
