Super carrier care

摘要

The Royal Navy flagship HMS Illustrious is undergoing a maintenance and upgrade programme at Rosyth, in a project that sees Babcock, the MoD and the Royal Navy working closely together to ensure the carrier can continue in service until the new aircraft carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth, is in service.rn'Lusty', as she is affectionately known in the Royal Navy, arrived in February for the 13 month docking period, the fifth refit to be undertaken by Babcock on the Invincible class aircraft carriers (CVS), and second on Illustrious. Many of the team have been involved in all four previous CVS refit contracts, bringing a wealth of valuable platform knowledge and experience.
