A New Aircraft Carrier Is Head to the South China Sea Next Year (Not From China or U.S.)



The Royal Navy’s brand new £3 billion aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth will be deployed to the Far East to take part in military drills with the U.S. Navy and Japan. According to reports from the British media the carrier, known as “Big Lizzie,” will visit the Far East during a grand maiden voyage and will carry out joint military exercises.
 
The sailors shouldn't need to brush up on their Asian language skills just yet however. The deployment to the Far East won't come until the ship makes its maiden voyage next year.

The Brit's can't seem to get away from those bow ramps to launch a plane.  Two superstructures looks a little funky.

Seems strange to have all those stealth panel angles in the superstructure and that big flat end on the bow.
