HMS Prince of Wales (R09)

And where does this fit into the great scheme of things? You've got a busy time coming up.

We're very much regenerating with an ultimate headmark of taking over from HMS Prince of Wales as the very high readiness aircraft carrier.

That will come next year, but we've already started returning to frontline operations and having trained and being back to sea earlier in the year, we're now the NATO flagship.

With all that in mind, are you able to enjoy days like this? Are you always thinking ahead to what's coming up next?
