英國史上最大航空母艦的指揮官，已在蘇格蘭的羅賽造船廠（Rosyth Dockyard）接收了這艘航母。
這艘65,000噸重的「伊莉莎白女王號」（HMS Queen Elizabeth）比英國國會大廈還要長，而且有一個4.5英畝的飛行甲板，大小接近四座足球場。
這艘航空母艦有兩個螺旋槳，一個就重達33噸，大約是雙層巴士的2.5倍重。
它能承載679名船員，並容納多達900名空軍和陸戰隊員。
這艘航空母艦的飛行甲板上，有兩個島狀建物。前側的島橋，用於發佈航行指令，後側的島橋，則主要用於飛機管控。
航空母艦上有兩座升降機口，每個都可以在60秒內，將兩架F-35戰鬥機，從停機坪運上飛行甲板。
「伊莉莎白女王號」的設計是以載運F-35B戰鬥機為主，該機型能在短跑道上起飛，和垂直降落。
它不但能容納多達36架F-35B噴射戰鬥機，和4架AW101灰背隼直升機（Merlin）。它還能承載奇諾克（Chinook）重型運輸直升機，以及阿帕契（Apache）武裝直升機。
它的遠程雷達，能偵測追蹤250海浬內，多達一千個空中目標。
它也裝有中程雷達，可抵擋複雜的干擾器，並追蹤12英哩內，和撞球一樣大的目標。
這艘航母有最新一代的方陣近迫武器系統（Phalanx close-in weapons system），每分鐘可發射三千顆20毫米的炮彈。
「伊莉莎白女王號」和其姐妹船—「威爾斯親王號」（Prince of Wales）將是世上第二大航空母艦，僅次於美國的「尼米茲級航母」（USS Nimitz class），其後便是俄羅斯「庫茲涅佐夫號」（Admiral Kuznetsov）和中國的「遼寧艦」。
「伊莉莎白女王號」將於明年開始試航，預計在2021年開始佈署。「威爾斯親王號」還在羅賽造船廠建構中，預計一年半後完工。
英文原文：
The commanding officer of Britain’s largest ever aircraft carrier has taken control of the ship at Rosyth Dockyard in Scotland.
The 65,000-tonne HMS Queen Elizabeth is longer than the Houses of Parliament and has a 4 and a half-acre flight deck, roughly the size of four football pitches.
Each of the carrier’s two propellers weigh 33 tonnes, about two and a half times the weight of a double-decker bus.
The vessel will hold a crew of 679 sailors and can accommodate up to 900 air crew and marines.
The aircraft carrier has two islands on the flight deck. The forward island bridge is used for navigation commands, while the aft island bridge is mainly used for aircraft controls.
It has two aircraft lifts, each of which can move two F-35s from the hangar to the flight deck in 60 seconds.
The Queen Elizabeth was designed primarily to carry the F-35B, which can take off on short runways and land vertically.
It can accommodate up to 36 F-35B jets and four AW101 Merlin helicopters. It can also carry Chinook heavy-lift helicopters and Apache gunships.
Its long-range radar can detect and track up to 1,000 air targets within 250 nautical miles.
It is also equipped with a medium-range radar that can thwart complex jammers and track targets as small as a snooker ball within 12 miles.
The carrier is armed with the latest generation of the Phalanx close-in weapons system, which can fire 3,000 20-millimeter shells per minute.
The HMS Queen Elizabeth and its sister ship, the Prince of Wales, will be the second-largest carriers in the world, after the USS Nimitz class, and larger than Russia’s Admiral Kuznetsov and China’s Liaoning.
The HMS Queen Elizabeth will begin sea trials next year and is expected to be deployed in 2021. The Prince of Wales is still under construction in Rosyth and is expected to be completed in 18 months.
