Life on board HMS Queen Elizabeth - BBC News 

He is a West Indian. chill is kind of their thing. I am glad too Mr G.

I think all the black guys I have met so far are always quite chill and fun to be around.

@@Ilovepineapple I think all lives matter.

Most of the west Indians are chill. They just enjoy their life.

looks awful tbh. Politics. Politics and money which we will have to spend on a nuclear capable ship port anyway.

Commonwealth... but yall ain't ready for that conversation.

@@elpresidente1822 except "her majesty's" doesn't mean in direct service to the queen - it's pretty much synonymous with "my country's". It's the british figure of speech for expressing patriotism. Something tells me Liz herself isn't really interested in the workings of a single specific aircraft carrier.

@@elpresidente1822 imagine thinking just because you work in the armed forces you gonna die (or even go to war lol). You're confusing the British with the US, bro. You definitely never had any contact with the military, wherever you're from. If you did, you'd know that like 99% of the job when you're in the army is like mowing grass, training or some other boring shit unless you live in a country that is at war or go out of your way to try and get deployed. I'm not from Britain but awesome to see his patriotism and enthusiasm.

@@zanist100 yeh, we are proud of the commonwealth and the unity it brings. What do you mean "yall" ain't ready for that conversation. I assume ur an American so stay in your lane. We are right here, ready to talk. This lad knows what he is doing and is proud to do it.

@@EthanfromEngland- not American... actually I'm from one of the so called common wealth nations. Let's be clear, its simply a post colonial control tool. And don't get me wrong, it's a brilliant strategy, so I do understand the pride you are referring to. Cheers mate.

well that leaves only 30% to sea.

😂😂😂

BOLLOCKS

@@keibohow69ffs 🤣🤣🤣

Ahaha😂😂😂

What is it like on an American carrier?

@@abcdefghijklmnop229 I heard they have everything including a Harley Davidson dealership on board

@@fatbass22 Well did someone even bought one?

lol the American ones do look a little drab.

Those carriers are like 20-50 years old though. Might be better living on one made in this decade.

😭😭😭😭

@House Rules *cough*🦗

@House Rules Sad part about this is that you seem to think that Britain was in those places to help atleast thats what it sounds like to me. In reality the were in it for them selfs wich I have nothing against thats just human nature but acting As if those nations are better of because of the Empire or that the combination/creation of some nations was a great is a cup of sewer tea for me.

@House Rules Also the modern world A.K.A the west was created of the backs of those nations ruled by Britain.

@House Rules The fact of the matter is that acting as if the British Empire benefited everyone under it is bullcrap. It mostly just benifited Britain. Wich is not bad there are victors and the oppresed A.K.A losers in history. Just dont act as if the British Empire benefited those under her.

@e ....Huh?

@e Bro, nobody asked, and nobody cares.

@David Rosenberg new Cold War? Nah we’re making it hot this time round. Can’t wait.

Thanks Danny and just to let you know the second one, Prince of Wales is about to enter service. Together stronger. 🇬🇧🇺🇸💪💪💪

@@pamberinehondo9447 Sounds powerful, I wish the Royal Navy would rebuild King George V.

@@dannylance5212 I think the days of large Battleships has sailed, excuse the pun. Keep well

@@pamberinehondo9447 Of course they are, I meant rebuild her to today's standards. She would be quite the destroyer if they did that.

@@dannylance5212 The QE is essentially what a King George V would be if built today. In terms of prestige, cost and capital ship status.

That's the only reason the BPC picked him is it?

@@masere BPC

"Wow, a nice black person. Let's all be really middle-class and patronize him."

That's not why they chose him 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@snowflakemelter1172 the irony of your name, that you see the guys not white and you go into snowflake conspiracy mode

Big up my Grenadian cousins

That is a beautiful flag!

@@AM-mv6ro thinking the same thing. Most flags are quite plan but this one is cool.

@@lukemurray4950 Alot of the carribean island nation flags are cool..I like St Lucia the most

Hello 👋

Yeah right

@@malinechannel3890 lad gets a big tour of all sorts of places on one of the Royal Navy's most famous ships afloat and its all seemingly quite comfortable. Not only that, he clearly likes what he's doing on board too.

Yeah mon!

Why?

Why do you despise the BBC

@LudVan 77 lol shit take, if that was an attempt at irony then also shit take

@LudVan 77 are you feeling unwell?

@LudVan 77 not really, bbc is just a news channel that many a time, peddles biased stories, disliking it doesn't equate to disliking an entire island and its people, a company isn't a nation

As a uni student there I’m really excited to see her

@David Rosenberg I'm pretty sure most people know that is where we are heading. So? The common folk could do nothing to stop it before, they can do nothing to stop it now. Telling people to wake up as though you are uniquely enlightened is really pointless and sounds quite childish.

I hope the E in big E doesn’t stand for Elizabeth lol

Enterprise is a survey ship, still in community as far as I know

@@redvelvetshoes nah the one that their building right now, CVN-80

Very proud all the way from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

'Nuff respect to the Trini posse mon!

Murder capital of the planet.

@@snowflakemelter1172 the irony of your statement considering your username is palpable

Why? Over the centuries millions of men have gone to sea. It is not unique or difficult (now) and does not say anything about Trinidad. I'm not proud of those from the UK; why would I be?

I agree that this guy seems nice but the military isn’t really “for the people” that’s just mythology/propaganda. People don’t vote on whether to go to war and never have done. Was the Iraq war for example really in the interests of the ordinary people in the uk or the soldiers who were sent to die there.

Were you involved in the Falklands war?

He's a clerk, he's not in any danger.

@@snowflakemelter1172 he’s on a ship that’s the prime Target for any enemies

@@Ukfairgrounds Exactly. I applied for air engineering officer training, a role exclusively at sea aboard the carriers, and whether it's a combat role or not, you're on the prime target for enemy submarine or missile attack, at the opposite side of the world with only the resources you bring with you, and any allies close at hand. Take no position in the armed forces lightly, you're there to destroy the enemy and defend your country, and that's impossible to remove from personal risk.

@David Rosenberg exactly. English is more than a piece of paper

@David Rosenberg he's more English and more of a gentleman than either of you dickheads will ever be

@@theAEDan ^ applies to you too

@@imperialcommisar5279 wrong

he joined the military through the commonwealth

he serves demons in empty vessels... demon army rising ...looks like your part of this army :)

@@narkskank7762 if you're seeing demons I recommend seeing your GP.

@@OnlyGrafting and you demon ibot from israle begon or grow up ... funny how you have an Intrest in silly child games ? what the fuck is that about ?

@@narkskank7762 lmao stay mad seeing demons. If you like the Labour Party lot perhaps it's a communication issue and you meant Jews?

@David Rosenberg here here and this black guy is pure cabal code bullocks

S400 entered the chat

How we gonna pay for it and the military hasn’t been part of British culture for decades now

@@mathmagic9137 Oh ok I get it you’re deluded. A third world country that only has a large gdp due to it being massive with a massive, almost entirely impoverished population is ahead of the former most powerful country in the world, now around 4th place with a far higher quality of life, minimum wage, life expectancy, literacy rate, better military, many times better gdp/capita, etc. So what exactly is India better than the U.K. at, except getting colonised and not being able to get over it maybe?

@@mathmagic9137 bruh you're deluded. I'm indian myself and there's no way we're as advanced as the UK. We are doing quite well (ISRO for example) and no doubt we'll get better every year. But let's not delude ourselves by pretending we're as developed as the west. We aren't (yet) but we should seek to be. Stay grounded or we'll never get there

​@@mathmagic9137 Yes I am. Does that make a difference? You are trying to imply that we've gone far ahead of the UK. You've commented on every comment below about how the QE is weak. You WANT to prove that India is much much better than the UK and that we're far more powerful and well to do than the UK. What is the use of this? YOU want approval from the Brits. You WANT validation. you choose to cherry pick facts and use them to your advantage. I've lived a large part of my life in India. Poverty is rampant. You might be middle class but don't forget that millions in India live in conditions that are absolutely deplorable. You quote a figure of 9% for poverty but do you even know what living conditions exist for these people? 134 MILLION people live with just 2 DOLLARS PER DAY. Do you know what the UKs poverty line is? You gain pride in the fact that many hundreds of thousands of Indians flourish in the UK. Do you realize that the reason they flourish is because they are in the UK? Do you realize that people in the India specifically send their children out because they want better lives for them? I think that it's commendable that even minorities in the UK can reach the great offices of state (when the ruling incumbent are conservatives). Can you tell me the last time BJP appointed a muslim as cabinet MP? If anything, the presence of Sunak, Patel and Javid in the cabinet is a sign of progress, not of 'indians colonizing the UK'. The fact that religion and identity politics in India is so rampant shows how BACKWARD we are compared to the UK. You talk about how the empire ruined us. Yes, the UK did colonize us. Yes, their rule was devastating. But should we continue to blame the UK for our current misfortunes when the last time they exercised their authority was 75 YEARS AGO? China was devastated by civil war after being colonized by the Japanese (and trust me Japanese imperialism was far far more damaging to China than British colonialism was to us). Today the Chinese dragon has risen far above India - our population stats are also nearly the same. Look at Japan - they had NO infrastructure after the devastating fire bombing campaign in ww2. They were attacked with nuclear weapons. Just 35 years after ww2 Japan had cemented its position as a Economic superpower. Look at South Korea. Wrecked by war once again but still fought against the forces of poverty and backwardness to become a technologically advanced country. We were in a FAR better position- our industrial base was still intact (although limited) after British rule. Yet today we struggle to feed hundreds of millions in the country. What's more, current British wealth has certainly not been derived from the empire. That ended in 1956. Britian's economy was crushed and bankrupt after ww2. It is their actions alone that have made them progress. And FYI, British nominal GDP for 2021 is higher than India's 3.21 vs 3 trillion. This is with a population of 1.3 billion vs 65 million. Let that sink in. Finally, you should give up your delusion that India is in any form more 'powerful' than the UK right now. Having a large, soviet era army does NOT make us stronger. Hell, military power is in no way an indicator of world strength and influence. The UK (even with the decline of the empire) is a global power with power projection capabilities far ahead of India and second only to the US. It's financial strength is far greater- UK banks control a huge amount of global trade and UK overseas territories hold a huge fraction of global money (the legal and illegal kind, both). The FCO office is one of the world's most powerful and influential foreign ministries. The UKs influence on the world stage is a level India hasn't reached, thanks to years of isolationism by the congress govt. The BJP is taking steps to change that, and I'm in complete support of that. I say all of this as a BJP supporter and as a deshbhakt. You and your moronic tendencies to gain approval from the British DO NOT help the country. You must recognize that we still have a long, long way to go and work towards that. Stop pretending that we are more powerful- get out there and DO SOMETHING TO SHOW THAT WE ARE.

@@mathmagic9137 I've been in the UK for just over 2 weeks now. Huge difference, eh?
