After suffering a major issue with one of the propellers last year, britain's largest warship returns home after repairs. The Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier, HMS Prince of Wales, is one of two in the class homeported at His Majesty's Naval Base Portsmouth.
The Royal Navy aircraft carrier was welcomed back to HMNB Portsmouth by family, friends and supporters on Friday, August 4th, following 9 months of repairs in Rosyth, Scotland. The £3 billion ship was en route to the US in August 2022 when it suffered an issue with the propeller on the starboard side, which led to damage to the rudder on the vessel. After repairs and a period of sea trials, the 65k tonne carrier returned ahead of an upcoming deployment in autumn.

The HMS Prince of Wales is designed to embark F-35B Lightning II vertical take off fighter jets, as well as a number of helicopters. Aircraft are typically not on board while in port. Serco provided several tugs to help guide the ship in, while Ministry of Defence Police, working with Hampshire Police, escorted the vessel into Portsmouth Harbour.

These beautiful craft were built a mile from my home here in Fife, Scotland, I believe they are built to the same recipe as Irn-Bru, made from girders.

The ships were partially made in Scotland you mean, as for iron brew they changed the recipe. No wonder that’s made in Scotland

As an American, I love seeing England have carrier capability again. Both UK carriers are incredible pieces of engineering and force projection. Whenever a world military crisis unfolds, one of the first questions asked is....."where are the carriers"

@dafyddthomas7299 10 месяцев назад

Thanks - really love seeing your supreme A/Carriers visiting Portsmouth - about once a year; these are giants of the sea along with a lot of wing on your fight deck, only a fool like China would ever invade Taiwan or N. Korea vs S. Korea and Japan (most likely soon) and get a good spanking in return by might of US Navy + Royal Navy and other Allied Navies in that region.

America is attacking Syria and other places and stopping air attacks on Israel which I agree with Israel for defending there country but the Palestinian loss is a bit much. But they were given time to leave and they backed hamas into power. Unfortunately it’s quite a mess but a nuclear war is just around the corner. England will only need 2 nukes and we have subs that are armed secretly out there somewhere which I’m guessing I’m not sure of.

Thanks Cobra! Exciting times for HMS Prince of Wales later this year... She's due to sail to the US to conduct further flight trials. The expectation is that this will include further Shipborne Rolling Vertical Landings (SRVL) to broaden the flight envelope - i.e. increased bring-back loads, etc. I also suspect that she will begin Mojave UAS trials as the RN has contracted the lease of an airframe from General Atomics. This could be a really exciting development as the introduction of UAVs to the QEC air group could be a game changer!

A lovely sight, and now with both of the carriers in port at the same time. It seemed a bit naked as it had no phallanx CIWS fitted yet, but that's probably for its first visit to the US. As they are both in, I'm tempted to do the 3hr trip from the Midlands just to see them close up.

@vinerscott 11 месяцев назад

Seen them both & definitely worth a visit

@davem9208 11 месяцев назад

I'm trying to check how long they are both going to be there for now. I guess the Prince of Wales may ne tied up for a bit, but the Queen Elizabeth may deploy if needed. It would be a pointless journey down there if they are not both there. I was down there mid 90's when one of the old carriers was docked (can't remember which one though), and at that time even that carrier looked impressive.

@sulyokpeter3941 10 месяцев назад

I was in Portsmouth last weekend for a trip and I had no idea before that their home port is there until I spotted them from the tour boat. It was an amazing sight. I got a lot of shots from both. And a nice 5 minute long video. :D BTW that was the first time when I saw an aircraft-carrier in real life. Very close. They are huuuge. :D It wasnt easy to fit one into 1 picture, but the tour boat drove to a further distance so we managed to fit both into one pic. I will never forget that day for sure.. Ohh plus on top of the aircraft-carriers i was able to see the Type 45 Destroyers, the Type 23 Frigates and a lot of other military ships too. Next one on my list is to see a nucelar powered submarine in real life. Hopefully i will be able to one day.

@davem9208 10 месяцев назад

I hope to get down there next week, but i have noticed that the Queen Elizabeth has apparently sailed, so it will only be the Prince of Wales that will still be there, but that will be enough to keep me happy. I went to Portsmouth about 25 years ago, and one of the old, smaller carriers was in at that time, but I can't remember which one it was Back then there was talk about getting these new bigger carriers. It's about time I updated my photo collection i think.@@sulyokpeter3941

I have said this before but I will say it again. When Winston Churchill was first Lord of the Admiralty in the First World War he wanted the Dominion countries of the Empire to fund their own 'Dreadnought' and be the centre of a Battle Fleet. Similarly today, within the Commonwealth Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, all countries of whom King Charles III is King should fund an aircraft carrier and with destroyers, frigates, and submarines already within their fleets, they would instantly have three mighty Carrier Fleets coupled with our two, we would be invincible to China and Russia. There would then be, by rotation, at least one Carrier Task Force on station in the South China Sea. Coupled with our allies the U.S., who could stand against us? Through Strength is Peace.

The ship with the cannon is the museum ship HMS Warrior (1860), the first major warship constructed of iron (the French ship Gloire that preceded it was an ironclad, ie wooden clad in iron). It is very worthwhile visiting Warrior if you're ever in Portsmouth - and it's usually far less busy than HMS Victory (Nelson's flagship), where groups of tourists are herded round with little time to explore.

When a Nimitz-class carrier leaves or enters port, her flight deck is crammed with fighter aircraft as a symbolic warning to potential adversaries to not mess with her or the rest of her fleet.
