HMS Queen Elizabeth departs with fighter jets on deck during NATO activities 🇬🇧 ⚓️ ✈️

- Britain's flagship aircraft carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth, departs Portsmouth after a brief stop during a Carrier Strike Group deployment. As a result, a portion of the airwing remained on deck. The airwing consists of F35B Lightning IIs with the Royal Air Force.
The Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier had to make a brief stop at His Majesty's Naval Base Portsmouth to repair a lift issue. The Royal Navy warship also took the opportunity to take on stores. Afterwards, the ship returned to operations with NATO partners and Sweden during Vigilance Activity Neptune Strike 23-3.
Usually fighter jets aren't embarked onboard an aircraft carrier while in homeport. This is the case when a deployment ends and the fighter jets depart for their inland bases. This makes the carrier less of a target, avoiding potential accidents with aircraft and freeing up the deck for maintenance and other works.

I just love the UK.
Greetings from America
Security stepped up for her in these tragic times.
Fair winds and safe seas all on Big Lizzy.
While yes your right about the security stepped up i don’t think anyone is actually stupid enough because first of all they will definitely feel the full force of the British military and I have no doubt that they would feel the full force of the American military as well and well if that anyone is the big mouth guy that doesn’t like to call a war a war was to attempt to attack the vessel I think that nato would somehow find a way to immediately invoke article 5 which would be very stupid to do especially since they effectively are more ready than they have ever been due to the massive exercise
A wonderful sight of HMS Queen Elizabeth with F-35Bs on the flight deck. Brings back memories of HMS Invincible and HMS Ark Royal with the Sea Harriers lining their decks.
I was lucky enough to see Sea Harriers land on HMS Ark Royal in Sydney Harbour in 1988 just before she passed under the Harbour Bridge. Awesome sight! I was watching from Garden Island Dockyard on my ship. The Queen Elizabeth Class is a very unique and cool looking ship.
I met a couple of blokes from Arkers on one of the nights they were in Sydney…they drank me under the table! 🤣
Oh, and we nearly bought HMS Invincible… but something happened in the South Atlantic in 1982 which scuttled that agreement. We also offered military assistance for that, but our offer was declined.
@@NoName-ds5uq I was lucky enough to visit RNAS Yeovilton in Late 1982. Many of the Sea Harriers that had returned from the Falklands were on the apron, some with the kill markings still still on. That was pure magic!
No artillery on that boat, no armed escort, only 6 jets................The QE is a sitting target that Putin regards as a joke!
As an ex matelot i miss sailing from pompey . I first sailed on HMS Glamorgan in 1984 and i felt so proud.
You just missed all the fun! in the Falklands then. Well done for your service 👏
My dad did his baby tiff's time on Glamorgan 79-80 with lads that died in the galley, load of them then stuck in Collingwood for 2 years were then drafted to ship's that had stories and scars from the South Atlantic, in his case Avenger.
@@richardtempleton8840 good thing he wasnt on the Glamorgan during the Falklands
I tried joining Royal navy in 78...told me I was too old and I'd got a driving conviction oh well
That ship is an absolute beast
Not really, 8 jets is a joke
@Tbtemplex97 They could not, not 8 ...
@@CommonSenserules1981She has the capability to hold 44 aircraft, on deck and in the hangers below deck. The fact there are 8 F35’s on deck is irrelevant. This is probably the requirement for this NATO exercise. The UK have ordered a total of 78 of these aircraft. 🇬🇧💪
@@pamberinehondo9447 Don't be dense, the fact is, the Royal Navy do NOT have any Jets, 8 jets next to 44 is nothing and I can tell you now, when you hear American generals making comments on the British military being no longer a major fighting force, you see why, we have next to nothing.
And I think you will find that since we have had these carriers we have had no Jets to fill and still don't.
If we went to war with Russia tomorrow, i guess not Jets for carriers will still remain irrelevant which makes the RN irrelevant so nice argument . .. Not.
@@CommonSenserules1981 😂😂😂. One General makes a comment that was countered and slapped down by the US Chief of staff. There is a big push in to replenish and replace the older ships in the RN and the US Marine flyboys have raved over both the Prince of Wales and the QE carriers and the fact that it takes 1600 crew to run it as opposed to the 3250 to crew theirs. Devonshire class Destroyers are the most advanced in the world. It’s not the size of the military it’s the quality and effectiveness. That’s where we lead. Unless you are part of it you have no position of strength to debate it. Now stop whining and see in the good in your country. If not then literally go stand with Israel as flights have resumed
Majestic on the water.Wish i could have watched her sailing away from home,hope all return safe and sound.
The lady talking with the Birmingham or Wolverhampton accent must be so proud if she has a son or daughter serving on The Queen Elizabeth.👏👏🙏🙏
Beautiful ship just like her Majesty the queen
Had a little smile on my face when I heard her say "be safe love" uncertain times out there at the moment. May they all return to port safely!
Definitely a yam yam twang!
It needs to sail up the Thames to defend our democracy from the internal threat.
I was a 3 Scott's dad spending the time with them before deployment was exciting but also Hart braking your kid new thayr job inside out thay knew what was coming we never a massive shout out to all our brave lads n lasses I/ we thank you all....
Meanwhile, our country is under attack from within.
Here, we've got one!!
An aircraft carrier is not much use within,is it…
With the abundance of suicide killer drones...in the hands of Iran, china, nokor, etc...hms q.e. could be a sitting duck.
Nothing we can't handle.
Well the Tory’s will not be in power for ever..
Finally sailing out with British aircraft on the flight deck. God bless all on board. 🧐🇬🇧
I thought they were F35s
Yes? Your point? F35 project was multinational, and Britain was the second-largest contributor to it. @@Piccyman1
@@Swatmat no point, I didn't know, I am pleased we have had involvement designing it, The UK has excellent engineers 😁
Still not many
@@CommonSenserules1981 but great quality 😁 there is more under the decks
What a beauty. Good luck on your deployment 👍
Wouldn't want to be on the business end of that Strike group. Someone has F'd around and is about to find out!
God bless Her Majesty may she rest in peace. God save the king!
Magnificent!
Good luck lads! 🇬🇧❤️🤍💙🇬🇧❤️🤍💙
Very nicely covered and makes me want to visit Portsmouth, with its huge historic connection to Australia (since the First Fleet left from there). I loved the British hovercraft at 9:18!
Also ex matelot, my first sailing on my first draft, HMS Bulwark '1979' pennant number R08!!! Loved pompey
I've never seen an aircraft carrier before but I would love to see one in person someday those look wicked cool
Its pretty impressive. Especially a supercarrier.
Get yourself down to Portsmouth... they're there regularly
Can it prevail against the naval power of the bully ?
@@wertrocks123is there a way of tracking whether they are in port or not?
Pretense is no better than reality .
8 F35B Lightnings can carry 32 meteor missiles that have a range of 200km
So a flight of 8 F35s from HMS Queen Elizabeth can shoot down 32 (non-stealth) fighter jets from beyond visual range without the enemy even knowing the Brits were there
Mind blowing what man can
God the non military British people don't half whine on about jets and maintenance about this brand new carrier...thank god the British military have more professionalism and dignity...
Safe seas boys and girls very proud of you all
Why???
Finally started to see fleets of f35 about time
Fleets..?? They are called squadrons...
@@dockingtroll6801 cheers I posted it very early thank you for correcting me
@@dockingtroll6801 'Fleet' of aircraft is also perfectly acceptable terminology when referring to the F-35 force as a whole. Eg "the UK currently operates a fleet of around 40 jets" or "the fleet is growing in size" are totally acceptable.
The plural "fleets" doesn't make much more sense though, unless referring to multiple types of aircraft at the same time, eg "the fast jet fleets of 1 Group, RAF".
@@Orbital_Inclination No its not.. Stop making up definitions to suit a comment of which you clearly know nothing...In military aviation, a wing is a unit of command and a "fleet of aircraft" is exclusively used for commercial airlines.
@@dockingtroll6801 that's odd, we use it all the time in the RAF. Clearly the guys on my squadron know nothing, I'll have to let them know some guy on CZcams says we're wrong 😂
We use the term 'fleet' to describe all the aircraft of a single type all the time, whether its official terminology or not. We rarely use the term 'Wing' any more to refer to aircraft, because the RAF doesn't really have many aviation wings anymore. Our Sqn falls under a Force HQ, which falls under a Group, and there aren't enough Sqns to form a Wing.
The only time we really use it nowadays are for things like Base Support Wing, for example. Even Air Mobility Wing refers to the A4 Eng side of things, rather than the A400, C-17 or Voyager aircraft fleets themselves.
The USAF at Lakenheath organise their sqns under the 48th Fighter Wing, but our Typhoon sqns are organised under the Combat Air Force, which falls under 1 Group, no Wings.
So so beautiful. What a wonderful sight. God bless all of you on board and God Bless your families.
Thank you for looking after our beloved country xxxxxx

Why would god bless that?? because she loves killers??? Ohh no wait... she actually made a commandment that said "Thou Shall Not Kill".... well maybe she forgot....
why would god bless a machine created to kill people, manned by a crew trained to kill people?? That makes absolutely no sense.. Even less when coming from someone who apparently thinks they are christian....
Love the jets on the deck badass 💯🇬🇧💪🇬🇧
I remember when I was young and going to navy days, and going aboard hms ark royal.. I couldn't believe the size of it....had a great day visiting the various ships...would love a tour on hms queen Elizabeth...
Yeh I'm a navy bratt we did navy days a lot as a kid was good memories my dad was quite high up so we got to go to lots of things with the navy did you ever go see the mine sweepers difusing mines i kind of wish I hadn't been around the navy so much as a kid as it took away the interest for me joining up
@@fasterthanyou1000 no I never saw that.. Must have been cool... Used to go to Plymouth navy days.... I ended up going in the army.. My mums brother got torpedoed and went down with the ship, hms stronghold, her father was on hms hood, but survived...
@@johnwatts9932so navy is in your blood which is probably why you loved navy days and joined up to serve , I was the only one in a line of 4 generations not to join up I found I loved building things insted so became a builder but my familys navy history is ripe on the tree 2 world wars , falklands and current affairs. My mum would alway March us down to the docks to wave the navy in and out she was as much navy as the old man was
I find it funny that a massive British fully armed and maned warship is getting a police escort
It’s more of a health & safety matter of keeping idiots away so they don’t get annihilated - bug on a car windscreen style - by Tin Lizzie as she makes her way out of port.
Probably the best looking, most advanced aircraft carrier in the world, however she’s definitely got the best name of any ship sailing today
HMS Queen Elizabeth
Ahh… Now I’m sure it’s named after Elizabeth the first… Please correct me if I’m wrong
Your pathetic HMS Banana Boat is mostly 1970s technology… non-Nuclear, non-CAT, non-TRAP, non-AWACS, with that emasculated banana-ramp it is simply an outdated diesel burning piece of rubbish… more comparable in technology to the Russian Admiral Kuznetzov.
Most advanced? The thing doesn't even have wires on it.
@@Durgesuthyou’re right
Massive Tudor rose on her side would give you a clue it’s Elizabeth the first ,,good see fat Lizzie with some jets on her..most advanced mmmmmm for us maybe
magnifcent sight and great to finally see the jets on the deck
Thank you please spell checker i have changed it
She looks so potent.
Impressive ship 👍
Imagine if she was ordered to stay in our waters to stop the migrant invasion.
Super video. Great shots and editing. Thx

Should be the Fleet Air Arm full stop !
She is indeed our pride rule brittania 🇬🇧💪🇬🇧

Let’s hope she is on her way to provide cover over Gaza and enforce a no fly zone to protect civilians.
Fantastic footage, makes you proud to see sights like that.
Glad you enjoyed it! Always happy to film the Queen Elizabeth-class.
"Royal Navy - Protecting our nation interests" I think they mean "Tyrants Interests " Shame they can't put in as much effort in protect the British people.
All ready to fight Israels wars but not bother defending our own coast
Looks impressive
Very, very cool.
We’re gonna need here help here first 😮
And we can’t even stop dinghies 😂😂😂😂
Thats the fault of the government who dismantled any legal asylum routes, thus making the illegal ones so lucrative for criminal gangs.
Looks magnificent
So, where's all the Sailors standing along the Deck. Not one Union Flag, no bunting either. Even the aircraft don't have any red/White/Blue RAF roundels on them. Shame. There again, this isn't a British Ship. It's a Military Industrial Complex ship.
What are you on about ?
So if you own a Ford or a Vauxhall, its not your car, it's a Industrial Complex car?
It was only in port for a quick stop for a resupply, they're not going to line the deck and wave flags every time they come into port.
GOD bless and GOD speed.
Let's hope the UK government as given our boys all they need. Kit and machinery wise. They don't normally
All fur and no knickers, a bloated carrier and a handfull of F35s.
Why is it not discussed how sea shy the current individuals are in the RN. the RAF has more sea days than the fleet air arm.
Not FAA or RAF's fault. Building the two super carriers saddled the RAF with an aircraft they don't want or need in the shape of the F35 Bravo. The UK can't afford to equip both services with what they require. The first batch of F35 went to the RAF. Hence why that's what sails. None of this is needed to defend these islands.
All UK F-35s are under the control of 1 Group, RAF. Every RAF and FAA squadron is jointly manned by a mixture of personnel from both services. It provides far greater flexibility in the force, as airframes and pilots aren't tied to either land-/maritime-based ops.
8 jets ? If theres only 8 jets on this cruise then we should just have kept the ark royal and illustrious , i really hope theres more in the hangers , their designed to carry 40 aircraft.
8 F35B Lightnings can carry 32 meteor missiles that have a range of 200km
So a flight of 8 F35s from HMS Queen Elizabeth can shoot down 32 (non-stealth) fighter jets from beyond visual range without the enemy even knowing the Brits were there 😂

If people arnt sure why the speedboats and police boats are clearing the way its in case any boats in the area have bombs on board.

@@chriswalford9228 I see your great British pride showing there. We have to talk everything down don’t we.
I am goin down to Portsmouth in two weeks time to see my partner,I go down from up north,I always love seeing the navy ships,wish the carrier was goin out then but either way just seeing it in the harbour is a very impressive site
You have to be "up" to go "down"... no need to clarify that, most of us are not that stupid...
Such a fantastic sight . alot of expensive equipment on display , but not really able to defend against the main threat to this country , hordes of potential terrorists crossing the channel in small boats . One of the prime duties of a government is to defend it's borders and people ,which isn't being done right now .
In your bigotted comment, you seem to be confusing the Royal Navy with HM Coastguard and the Border Force.
As for your 'potential terrorist' comment, anyone is a potential terrorist, get a grip.
@@paulgrimaldi5904 my point is that it's not the job of the Royal Navy to stop channel crossings, unless those crossings are of a military nature. It falls to Coastguard and Border Force.
It's also the job of a well resourced asylum system to offer legal routes, thus making the channel crossings less attractive and lucrative to criminal gangs. It would also allow us to maintain far better control over those trying to enter the country as they'd be tracked through the system from the start, and we wouldn't need to try and spot them bobbing around on a boat.
Alas, the Tories completely dismantled any legal routes, which has led to the current illegal immigration problem we now face, and that the Coastguard and Border Force have to spend far more effort and money dealing with.
You have a very weak argument and are not very well informed , you do realise that people entering the UK via legal routes was at an all time high last year ,look up the governments own figures . All countries have a duty to protect their people and borders from outside threats . That is why we have an armed force . And a bit of a pipedream having a well resourced , efficient asylum system under the present government . And evidence suggests nobody has to be spotted in their flimsy boats ,they have A French then a British escort as they cross the channel ,without that there would have been many more tragic deaths .@@Orbital_Inclination
@@paulgrimaldi5904 Given the long history of immigration to the British Isles, from the Vikings, Romans, Angles, Saxons, citizens of our former colonies, etc, what's so wrong about modern immigrants from the Middle East? Is it because they're the wrong colour for you?
As an aside, the surname Grimaldi suggests that you probably have some immigrant blood in your ancestry, much like most other British citizens.
I thought the answer to the first part of your reply was obvious , centuries ago this country had a tiny population
and plenty of space , and have you not noticed this country has too many people now and cannot support so many as we have got today . and of course the usual obsession with colour when an objection to immigration is raised ,you raised the subject not me. what colour do you think people from the M/E are , they are not that much different than southern Europeans . and of course to stop me voicing my opinion out comes the Racist B/S ,it is so boring and doesn't really work anymore and I do have people of various colours in my family and we get on very well .

Why two towers on the deck? Isn't it a waste of space?

wow
Very dangerous super carrier. They will soon be a force to recoon with
Yes
Don't Hold Your Breath. Breakdown coming.
8 aircraft, I bet are enemies are shitting themselves.
Are the bookies taking bets on how far it'll get this time?
It's in the middle east already it left in September so it got that far
Why and where are they going and what aren't we being told?
Back out into the north sea on exercise where she has been for the past couple of weeks. Very well publicized.
It’s now down by Qatar it got there pretty quick we sore it on Monday in Portsmouth and yesterday the ship finder said qatar
@@paulross1296 not according to the commenter below and also on the tracking device. Definitely middle east just off Qatar according to tracker.
Eight jets. Where are the other 30?
As proud as I am seeing HMS Queen Elizabeth and all her finest, that is not a good looking design of an aircraft carrier.
I’m sure she will perform better than she looks.😮
God bless all who sail in her.❤
It's all subjective...I'd guess your partner thinks you're good looking but I also guess a lot of people think you're not!!...just sayin!! 🤷♂️
Ex RAF here, why is it being towed, did they not manage to fix the prop shaft?
Tugs are standard practice for entering port
Well one advantage of the f35 is that it has 2 fins per aircraft so it looks doubly “ impressive?” Maybe we should change the Americans parking / handling fees on deck ….
They should put sponsored advertising on those screens as they are leaving port... raise a bit of beer money.
How many of them work? Do we have pilots for them? Will the Navy remember to remove the vent covers before take off? Questions questions........
Such a large carrier with so few aircraft on board.
Yay... let's go protect a foreigners borders.......
The 2nd best looking ship, so what is it with the Ramp thing? Does that side of the pond not use launchers like the USA?
The ramp shortens the take-off run required by the F-35B. They can take off with full fuel and payload from QE class deck without the ramp, but the ramp allows other aircraft to land simultaneously behind the departing aircraft.
The UK don't use CATOBAR for a number of reasons, and both systems have their pros and cons. There's no one right answer really.
Did the ship run into anything or have any mechanical problems? Just asking??
Soon. Soon.
God help us all. ❤
Be nice to see full compliment of aircraft on board
Where's the rest of the group?
F35b best multirole since the F4E phantom 2 and F14D super tomcat flew
Not really, do you not know that it has never been used in real combat and has crashed 11 times costing over a billion dollars in lossez with zero combat experience? (Fake bombing runs covered by real aircraft is not real combat)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Have you seen how many times pilots had to eject from this multi million garbage.

@@tomburton8239 Steady…. Someone with knowledge of the Small Boat Channel and LNTM 13/23.
Always a dangerous combination on CZcams. For me it’s trying to explain that part of the ruling of “keep under 25 knots within 2 NM of the carrier - para 8.” to those who have no clue about how important this asset really is.
Although I would say that our boys in the blue flashing light vessels are fairly rubbish at measuring 250 metres. They seem to think it’s 400 metres - but who can blame them.

BEAST
Be safe everyone .
I know tug boats are real sturdy and tough vessels, but pulling HMS QE must put them to the test, I mean it is almost like a shipping boat, if not more.
Nah QE is nothing, look at the giant container ships and cruise ships they weigh almost double the QE and the tugs handle those fine.
surely the carrier has its own F35s, so why send them back to an airbase, or are they just on short term loan....
No carrier in the world has its own permanent aircraft. Air wings are embarked when required.
All UK F-35s are under the control of the RAF (1 Group), with FAA/RAF Sqns manned by a mixture of personnel from both services, similar to the days of Joint Force Harrier.
Harrier better than F35! vector in flight!!
Send it up the Thames
Just wondering why the Carrier is showing ER on the bridge, surely that should be CR by now or am I missing something?
It's the cypher of the late Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, of whom the ship is named after. The HMS Queen Elizabeth will keep this symbol for as long as it is named as such.
A future HMS King Charles III would likely have the 'CR' cypher.
@@CobraEmergency You're wrong, because the ship is named in honour of a previous HMS Queen Elizabeth which was named after Queen Elizabeth 1st, the Tudor rose on the side of one of the towers gives the game away.
Yep. Queen Elizabeth the first ( don't have to use 'the first'). Henry VIII's daughter.
@Murdersville Ahh, that makes much more sense. Thank you! I'll be sure to refer to the Tudor Queen Elizabeth in the future when talking about this ship.
where did she borrow all those jets from????
The ~40 F-35s the UK already has
I wondered if she was brought back to be prepared to head out to the eastern Med.
The same thought crossed my mind, although there is a suggestion of a recurring fault on the aircraft lifts.
Was the lift a real fault?…. It looks tooled up for a pretty big mission… Keep the potential enemies guessing and show some power to deter
Hope not as its not our war.
