El último "gigante de los mares " británico

Cuando todavía, hace muy poco, estaba en su dique seco (arriba).

Pero que, al no disponer de sistema de lanzamiento de aviones por catapulta ("CATOBAR"), no es un auténtico portaaviones y no deja de ser un gigante un poco tullido, al tener que limitarse a equipar un tipo concreto de aeronaves (de momento, prestados por el USMC).

"While the Queen Elizabeth may be larger than any other British ship, she is a size down from U.S. carriers. The USS Gerald R. Ford, due to be commissioned next month, is 25 percent longer at 1,106 feet long and over 50 percent heavier. The Ford is also nuclear-powered, a more expensive and more powerful option than gas or diesel. While classified, the Ford's top speed is given as "in excess of 35 mph" or about 20 percent faster than the British carrier. Nuclear power also means no need to refuel, whereas the Queen Elizabeth needs to find a gas station every ten thousand miles."
