Carrier Construction powers ahead at Portsmouth
 
Construction of the first Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carrier took a signifiicant step forward today,as the final rings of the forward hull section came together for the first time at BAE Systems’ facility in Portsmouth
 
Two huge ring sections of the Lower Block 02 were joined together in a 30 minute move
involving 26 remote controlled hydraulic transporters. Workers carefully manoeuvred a 3,700 tonne slice of the block over 25 metres across the company’s production hall, where it was carefully lined up to join the rest of the hull. The hull block is made up of five rings in total, with the first rings joined in April, today’s move marks the end of the three month process
