Those look like High_res cuts from the same video I took my pics from in the earlier post. Hehehe...I just did not have a high-res version. But if you watch the following vied (that I poste yesterday on the UK Military News thread of the entire ceremony, every one of those scenes is in that video.

And I watched that whole thing, all two hours and fifteen minutes of it...it was as close as I could come to being there :)! LOL!

My gosh, compare to the HMS Illustrious she is so much bigger.;)
Yes she is...in fact, she's over three times the displacement...and it shows!

70,000 tons - HMS Queen Elizabeth
22,000 tons - HMS Illustrious

The HMS Queen Elizabeth is quite the increase in capability for the RN!

The Ford class is amazing, whats the projected life span 50 years? I know a lot of work went into making the interior spaces easily reconfigurable and upgradable as time goes on.
