spearhead 0 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 The Royal Navys fleet flagship HMS Invincible, after 25 years of livley service, today sailed into portsmouth for the last time as she is to be decommisioned later this week. HMS Illustrious shall be taking over as fleet flagship at an official ceremony outside of portsmouth on thursday. However, this will only leave us with one carrier, as the HMS Ark Royal is being refitted BBC News article i loved that ship Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChuckThunder 0 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 What's the status of the HMS Ark Royal? Will she be decommissioned soon as well? If she hasn't already... I only ask because I got a tour of her when I was about 6 years old and I enjoyed it very much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
