HMS Queen Elizabeth named at Rosyth shipyard

The Royal Navy’s biggest ever ship was officially named by Queen Elizabeth II at the Rosyth shupyard in Fife, Scotland, on 4 July. HMS Queen Elizabeth is the first of class of the Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier ships (2 to be built), capable of carrying up to forty aircraft (mainly JSF F 35). Weighting 72,000 tonnes, the warship is more than 900 feet long. The completion of her structure comes five years after work began and 33 months after the first section entered the dry dock at Rosyth for construction to begin. The ship and her sister vessel, the under-construction HMS Prince of Wales, are being built by the Aircraft Carrier Alliance (ACA), a partnership of BAE Systems, Babcock, Thales and the Ministry of Defence.
