Went to Portsmouth on Satuday 15th August and went up the Spinakker Tower. Good view of the Carriers. HMS Prince of Wales in the foreground and HMS Queen Elizabeth in the background.

Another one with the oldest commioned warship in the world, HMS Victory and one of the newest HMS Queen Elizabeth.

And I guess that the masts in the foreground are those of Warrior. Victory seems only to have her lower masts standing now, the topmasts etc having been "sent down". Many years ago I stayed in a hotel in Gosport and from the hotel windows one could see Victory's topgallants and royals towering above the dockyard cranes across the harbour.
