Outline

HMS Queen Elizabeth is the largest and most powerful warship ever built for Britain’s Royal Navy.

It is the product of 20 years of technical development, eight years of construction, and two years of crew assembly. She’s almost capable of sailing into battle, but first the massive vessel and her crew must pass a series of grueling sea trials.

With unprecedented access, this is a behind-the-scenes look at what makes this supercarrier so unique and an intimate portrait of the dedicated men and women who call her home.
