QUEEN ELIZABETH AIRCRAFT CARRIER
The Queen Elizabeth class has two aircraft
carriers. The lead
ship, HMS Queen Elizabeth, was commissioned in December
2017. The second, HMS Prince of Wales, was commissioned
in December 2019.
HMS Queen Elizabeth provides UK
armed forces with a four acre military operating base,
which can be deployed anywhere in the world. The
aircraft carrier is capable of
carrying over forty aircraft, with a normal maximum load
of thirty-six F-35s and four Merlin helicopters
for airborne early warning and anti-submarine
warfare. Surge capacity is up to 72 aircraft.
Alternatively a Littoral Manoeuver package
could include a mix of Royal Navy Commando Helicopter
Force Merlin HC4, Wildcat AH1, RAF Chinooks, and Army
Air Corps Apaches.
The Queen Elizabeth class's design emphasizes flexibility, with accommodation
for 250 Royal Marines and the ability to support them
with attack helicopters and large troop transports such
as Chinooks.
The Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier is three times the size of
the Invincible-class. Despite that, she has
fewer crew. The carriers’ cutting-edge weapons handling
system can move armaments to the flight
deck six times faster, bringing the number of people
required to do the job down to just 48 from 160.
The highly
integrated mission system of the HMS Queen Elizabeth carrier brings together tactical, navigation, command
information and mission control data it can support
multiple aircraft operations and task force group
command functions. The twin islands design separates the
running of the ship from this activity giving greater
visibility of the complex flying operations. One for
navigation and ship's operations and the other for
flight control and aerial operations. The islands can
take on each other's function if one is incapacitated.
The hangars are designed for CH-47 Chinook operations
without blade folding and for the V-22 Osprey tiltrotor,
whilst the aircraft lifts can accommodate two Chinooks
with unfolded blades.
