The gas turbine and diesel powered aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth has been in Stanley Bay, Malvina Islands, since yesterday. Its satellite position can be seen on the satellite information site www.marinetraffic.com . (LOCATION)
The presence of the Queen Elizabeth coincides with the announcement by the settlers introduced by Great Britain to the usurped Argentine Islands, that "during this week" they will be visited by the new Minister of Defense Luke Pollard , who assumed office in July, after the inauguration of the new British Prime Minister Kein Starmer.
The Queen Elizabet is similar in size to the Admiral Kuznetsov class and displaces around 65,000 tons, three times that of the Invincible class. One of the aeronautical novelties of this class is that does not carry Harriers, but F35Bs . In December 2018, it completed tests with these aircraft on US territory.
Named after the battleship HMS Queen Elizabeth which was the lead ship of the Queen Elizabeth class of battleships, HMS Queen Elizabeth is a large aircraft carrier built for the Royal Navy. It was launched on 4 July 2014 and was officially delivered in May 2017, with operational capacity planned for 2020. Its first commanding officer is Commodore Sir Jerry Kyd, former captain of HMS Ark Royal and HMS Illustrious. It is based in Portsmouth.
