HMS Ark Royal lives on

Post by VulcanDriver »

The new carrier to be called HMS Prince of Wales is to be renamed HMS Ark Royal after Prince Charles agreed to to have his title removed. Senior RN Officers had petitioned him and he agreed to the change.

Whether it goes into RN service or gets sold to France is another matter! France is in the market for a new carrier but has said it cannot afford the building costs at present. Strangely the design is very similar to the UK carriers!
