Let's get down to business...
Thanks to a Herculean effort over the past week, Britain's biggest warship HMS Prince of Wales is bound for #NATO exercises in the Arctic, taking the place of her sister HMS Queen Elizabeth.
Huge thanks for the monumental efforts of all those involved - service personnel, dockyard teams and industrial partners - for their outstanding effort to get HMS Prince of Wales to sea today. She was in the early stages of a maintenance period when the decision was made to sail her.
The US, France, Russia and now Britain. Everyone has carrier problems
This is why you don't just have one

Stunning sunset over HMS Prince of Wales this evening. Fair winds and following 🌊 PWLS - you have made a big impression throughout your time here. And above all, epitomised that we are #StrongerTogether

Just casually driving Britain’s biggest warship, the 65,000 tonne HMS Prince of Wales off the coast of the US, waiting for our American friends to land on deck.
So much is possible in the Royal Navy.
Awesome.
A glimpse into the future...
The largest drone launched from a UK aircraft carrier (HMS Prince of Wales) could pave the way for tomorrow's naval air power.
Aircraft similar to the uncrewed Mojave could fly on missions alongside traditional machines.
