TIjdens de haventour (deze is inbegrepen in het entreeticket Historical Dockyards) varen we ook langs het gloednieuwe marineschip van de Britse Marine. De HMS Queen Elizabeth. Het is enórm. Het wordt bewaakt door een politieboot. Voor het geval er een aanslag per boot komt...

Even wat getallen:
Van de website van The Sun:
How big is HMS Queen Elizabeth and how much does it cost?
HMS Queen Elizabeth – nicknamed Big Lizzie – is the size of three football pitches and can carry 1,600 crew members and 36 fighter jets.
At 280m, the HMS Queen Elizabeth is longer than the Houses of Parliament.
Its length is greater than the height of the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth.
The huge warship’s construction, which began in 2004, along with its sister ship HMS Prince Of Wales is the most expensive in navy history costing £6billion.
It is the largest and most expensive ship that has ever been built for the Royal Navy, with a crew of 700 sailors and 200 industry contractors on board.
