Construction of HMS Queen Elizabeth

HMS Queen Elizabeth is the largest aircraft carrier ever to be built for the Royal Navy, weighing a hefty 65,000 tonnes.
She measures 283m from bow to stern and is 70m wide: her flight deck alone is just under four acres in length. She will have a crew of 680, with room for a further 900 personnel from embarked squadrons or Royal Marine Commando units.
Merlin helicopters will operate in the Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and Airborne Early Warning (AEW) roles, as well as providing force protection and conducting other roles, including evacuating medical emergencies and the all-important collection of mail.
The Navy is shortly due to take ownership of the Merlin Mark 3 aircraft from the RAF, which will also operate from QEC carriers. These will replace the Commando Helicopter Force’s venerable Sea King Mark 4.

Yes, I realize it’s been a while. Too long, as a matter of fact.
I think everyone goes through a period of personal renovation and reconstruction. Whether it’s to realign their attitudes and emotional capacities, add a new wing to their spiritual house, or strengthen the supports of their character, time needs to be taken and work needs to get done. On most occasions those tasks need nothing more than a brush and polish, but at others, the heavy equipment is called in to tear down the faulty structures and lay the foundation for something new. I’ve been absent to do a bit of development in my own life, and to appreciate the progress with those willing to lend support and care.
In the past, I’ve tended to neglect the responsibilities and deny the defects, which was something akin to the nursery rhyme about a crooked man building a crooked house. Now, I am eager to get my hands dirty by mucking through the pains of the past, find acceptance and forgiveness, and learn new techniques to re-invent my sense of Self. Thankfully, over these past several months a great deal has been accomplished – and yet there always seems to be so much more to turn over.
So, excuse my time away from here. It’s simply been a matter of a "man at work."
