After visiting the HMY Britannia at Leith last Tuesday popped along the coast to see the Forth Railbridge. On the opposite shore saw one of the new Queen Elizabeth carriers at Rosyth. Just had a Google & saw it was the Prince of Wales HMS Prince of Wales (R09) - Wikipedia
Happy to read that someone is keeping their navy up-to-date. I doubt we have anything new in the Canadian Navy.

The UK's newest aircraft carrier, HMS Prince of Wales, has set sail from the Firth of Forth. One of the largest vessels to be operated by the Royal Navy, it is to begin its initial sea trials. The ship has been built to operate F35B Lightning II Joint Strike fighter jets. Its sister ship, HMS Queen Elizabeth, was completed two years ago. It is currently crossing the Atlantic to begin operational trials with fighter aircraft in the USA Second giant aircraft carrier sets sail
