The QUEEN ELIABETH has an Island – the hull of the Aircraft Carrier QUEEN ELIZABETH now has the forward island now installed and now looks more like an aircraft carrier. The 700 tonne Portsmouth built structure was lowered by the GOLIATH crane at Rosyth on to the flight deck of the ship at the end of a four hour operation and will contain the ship’s bridge. [the aft island will oversee flight deck and aerial operations]. This week two pieces of the flight deck will arrive at Rosyth for installation, after which the ski ramp to launch the F-35 LIGHTNING and the aft island will be added before the year’s end.
