What's wrong with this picture?

It's the ship at the front that's still part of the Royal Navy!

Yes I'm sure there's all sorts of good reasons for it, but it's still a sad time :(

Kind regards

And a flagship too.. CINCNAVHOME (Commander in Chief Naval Home Command). Victory doesn't have enough metal to be worth much mate ;)

Sad to see Ark Royal V go but I always thought it a very poor replacement for AR IV. Pointless keeping it with no aircraft to embark. 8)
