Yes, the New QE class carriers are an impressive & very popular sight, whenever they leave or enter the Portsmouth Navy Base, there's a couple of videos of them on my channel, (I live nearby) so I'm often able to see the Carriers.
Thanks for the content shares Yet ask as all are - How can these procurement failures continue and be washed over and use these vessels for basic target practice to show them for the rubbish they are as confusing warships with skips as with the Falklands War?
Interested in how long this has been going on. Serving between 1980 - 2003 mainly Type 42s do you have any footage of Cardiff, Birmingham, Gloucester so I can show my grandkids
Hi @Ronald Melia - there is some of HMS Nottingham (T42) in Plymouth Sound and another stretched Type 42 (possibly Gloucester or Nottingham) leaving Plymouth at Plymouth Hoe - hope this helps! I try to do a review every month, but its a new thing I am afraid! Hope you keep enjoying the channel!
The USMC is in the perfect opportunity to order a Queen Elizabeth as their new flagship. The USS Bonhome Richard is being scrapped. The Marines need a new modern amphibious assault ship. And having one single large-scale flexible Queen Elizabeth would be perfect. The USS Gloriana
Would be a clver move, because the enemy busy with laughing would be unable to perform unfriendly operations. instead uf buying ridicuolous overpriced Carriers the UK in need of money would give special discount, so the name should be USS Black Friday !
@@michaelpielorz9283 you do realize the Marine corps already operates much smaller VSTOL carriers right? Carriers that cost the same amount as the Queen Elizabeth but she has a much expanded capability. Really those two carriers are for us anyway that's why US Marine corps f-35's are going to be permanently stationed on both. So the Marines getting a Queen Elizabeth instead of a wasp for the same price would have been a great idea.
I am sorry @Robert Tisch but your comment shows a complete lack of naval knowledge!! She is being towed to avoid a collision in a restricted and limited river channel. Every vessel is barred from entering / leaving Portsmouth when either carrier leaves. The channel had to be dredged significantly to even accomadate them! Towing by tugs is common when ANY large naval vessel enters or leaves Portsmouth. Things can easily go wrong like happened at Suez recently!
Hey man, its a friggin' joke! I know why the tug is conected! Jesus man, grow some skin! Your new carrier is beautiful I'd give my right testicle to tour that ship
Agree with below. Having spent 25 years supporting the LPDs, Ocean, and more recently the Carriers, I was told that the tugs are not necessarily towing but are there to provide steerage which these ships can’t do accurately whilst having to move so slowly in confined waters. That’s why you see tugs both at the bow and stern and sometimes at the side of these large ships.
Thanks fella, I really appreciate what you do. Top man.
Much appreciated!! Really grateful for that!
Spent several years on Trenchants refit, and then Talent, and then Triumph. Happy days :)
Well done. Another first class production!
Many thanks! More to come!!
Excellent - thankfully the Royal Navy are finally getting more money now!
Gotta Love the Type 45
I mean, just look at her!
I miss living in plymouth I really do
good luck lads x
And girls.
I remember standing on devil's point watching my dad come home on the sirius
Leander class?

Why was enterprise flying the jack whilst at sea?

Where are the planes?
love how ppl show up to wave the ships off
anyone know if they are RN tugs or civilian ones?
SERCO, but working for RN I believe
May I ask, is all the footage your own?
Yes, all my own work! Hope you enjoy it!
why is "Endurance" flying a Jack on her bow while underway ????
I don’t know but I think because she was in port - essentially home. Not “underway” to anywhere but home, although I dunno
The year 2000 is the last year of the 20th century, not the first year of the 21st.

👍😁
The twin islands make perfect sense,the average tax-payer thinks: whoah we got two ships for the same price !!
It's an old ship ..... almost like the Dutch want double the use from it .
GB's newest aircraft carrier already having to be towed! The shipyard should have never used Lucas electrics!
