HMS Queen Elizabeth

[Toby]

It ' ll be Some jobsworth sat behind a desk , playing around with his coloured pencils behind all this ......

and if the unthinkable happened as it has so many times before.....its bad enough, but naming it after your head of state?? ...Nah not for me....I find it all very strange and indulgent!

[jlvfr]

I wonder why they named her 'Queen Elizabeth' ...are we now harking back to Tudor times and about to start plundering again??

and I must say the Use of 'Prince of Wales' would have me slightly perturbed if I were say French! ......hmmm I smell menace on the horizon!

It's ridiculous, tbh. They "killed" the old carrier names and gave these battleship names. Why!??!

"Lilibet".

How about Queenie and be done with it besides the ship's name will be whatever the sailors nickname it.

Unlike Cunard and Yanks the RN does add a number after a ship named for a former or we would have had Ark Royal 4 etc...

That...doesn't make any sense. Neither the US nor the RN adds a number after a ship named for a previous vessel.

[Toby]

How about LIZ2?

[snapper]

It is NOT QE2, just QE. Unlike Cunard and Yanks the RN does add a number after a ship named for a former or we would have had Ark Royal 4 etc... Her Majesty the Queen may go down in history as QE2 but she remains Queen Elizabeth.

QE2 as in two towers...makes perfect sense you're smashed

Unique design...

A nice comparison between Queen Elizabeth and Illustrious

The comparison noted... but still one "wild looking flat top".

And yes, people did complain that Cunard didn't call her QE3.

Looks like a money making sack of sh-t!

Call her what you wish, Bu

This is the Queen Elizabeth 2

Nice lines!

They should paint an angled deck line on her deck so that Carrier aircraft could line up and do some touch and go's.
