Incredible to think that the UK has two new super-carriers.

I wish the second had been named Ark Royal.

Stunning.

On holiday on Corfu in the 90’s, we saw the awesome USS Nimitz pass. An amazing sight. Now we have a couple of pretty big supercarriers.

I went, well worth it. There were thousands of people down there. Got there early for a good spot and wasn't disappointed. Very impressive.

The 2 super-carriers docked together for the first time, at Portsmouth.

Magnificent sight.
