Pier Head

HMS Prince of Wales is returning to Liverpool this December and members of the public will once again be able to go on board and view one of the most powerful surface warships ever constructed in the UK.

With an expected service life of up to 50 years, the floating cities of the Queen Elizabeth-class are highly versatile and able to meet the widest range of tasks around the world.

The ability to move 500 miles per day – combined with the speed and range of the F35 jets – means these carriers can react at very short notice and make a difference around the globe. Transforming into a force centred around carrier strike – The Royal Navy supports ships as they conduct carrier strike missions, enforce no-fly zones, deploy Royal Marine Commandos, deliver humanitarian aid, and build international partnerships with allies.

From Saturday 7 until Sunday 8 December, you can step on board and explore the impressive aircraft carrier and take the opportunity to talk with members of the crew.
