À propos de cet audio
Brought to you by Penguin.
Hear the enthralling story of the HMS Queen Elizabeth, the Royal Navy's largest ever warship.
Sixty-five thousand tons, 280 metres long. A flight deck the size of 60 tennis courts. A giant piece of Sovereign British territory that's home to up to 50 aircraft. HMS Queen Elizabeth in the biggest ship in the Royal Navy's history and one of the most ambitious and exacting engineering projects ever undertaken in the UK.
But it's her ship's company of 700, alongside an air group of 900 air and ground crew, that are Big Lizzie's beating heart. And How to Build an Aircraft Carrier tells their story.
From before the first steel of her hull was cut, Chris Terrill has enjoyed unprecedented access to the Queen Elizabeth and the men and women who have brought her to life. From Jerry Kyd, the ship's inspirational captain, to Cdr Nathan Gray, the first pilot to land Britain's new stealth jet fighter on her deck, Terrill has won the trust and confidence of the ship's people.
How to Build an Aircraft Carrier tells the story of Britain at her best: innovative, confident, outward-looking and world-beating.

False advertising
This is not a story on how to build an aircraft carrier but is about the people and personalities on an aircraft carrier.
I downloaded this book thinking it was going to be like the skunk works. I thought it would have to do with the technical challenges, stories of workers in dangerous and challenging situations, that sort of thing.
Mostly it is about pomp and ceremony that is uniquely British. Though it did have some entertaining stories it was not what I thought it would be based on it's title.
