HMS Ark Royal.
The fifth vessel to bear the proud name. Ark Royal was built by Swan Hunters Ship Builders’ yard at Wallsend in December 1978 and launched by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. HMS Ark Royal was accepted into service on July 1 1985.

HMS Ark Royal is larger than her 2 sisters, Invincible and Illustrious, at 210 metres (683 feet) long. She has a maximum beam of 36 metres (117 feet) and a displacement of 20,000 tonnes.

4 Olympus gas turbine engines (like Concorde’s) propel the ship, which give a maximum speed in excess of 30 knots. A steeper ski jump than in the other ships of this class is fitted at the forward end of the flight deck.
Pictured in Portsmouth Naval Base.

Neat Image used.

Hello Michael.

Always a pleasure insight when we see your name against a new picture to gaze at.
Super calm, glass like water giving crisp reflections, a wonderful shot of HMS AR.

A big smile.

Hi Michael,

Lovely photo of the HMS Ark Royal.
Beautiful reflections off the water. I like the sea gull on the bottom left corner as he seems to be enjoying the view too!

Well done
