UK Carrier Strike Group Assembles For The First Time

05 October 2020

The Royal Navy’s new Carrier Strike Group has assembled for the first time, marking the beginning of a new era of operations.

HMS Queen Elizabeth is at the centre of the group which is the start of joint carrier operations between the navy and its NATO allies.

Nine ships, 15 fighter jets, 11 helicopters and 3,000 personnel from the UK, US and the Netherlands are now carrying out exercises in the North Sea.

The strike group is the largest and most powerful European-led maritime force in almost 20 years.

1. Good. The UK, our closest ally, now has TWO carrier groups.

The United States has TEN.

I proudly welcome HMS Queen Elizabeth and wish her many years of faithful service.

The Antifa Navy will be right behind her.
