In a bold move not seen in decades, the Royal Navy is getting ready to launch its largest show of British airpower at sea since the Falklands War. HMS Prince of Wales, the Royal Navy’s 70,000-tonne flagship, is set to leave Portsmouth within the next two weeks. She’s heading out to lead a powerful task group made up of warships, support vessels, and even a Royal Navy attack submarine.
At the heart of this operation? Up to 24 cutting-edge F-35B stealth jets, split between two squadrons – making it the biggest at-sea deployment of British jets since the early 1980s. It’s a serious upgrade in Britain’s ability to project force overseas, reported GB News.
