HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH arrival in Halifax

The 65,000 tonne lead ship of the Royal Navy's newest class of aircraft carriers, HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH, arrived in Halifax on Thursday. 

I was extremely privileged to be flown out to the carrier in a Royal Navy Merlin helicopter with other media for a tour of the ship, to interview senior RN personnel, and to ride the ship into the harbour. 

I'm still working on the images, but for a sneak peak you can follow this link.

RN Commodore Mike Utley and RCN Rear-Admiral Craig Baines stand on the ski-jump of HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH as she entered Halifax Harbour for the first time.

The crew lines the edge of the deck, including the top of the ski-jump, during the ship's arrival.
