With nine ships, including the flagship aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth, thirty-two aircraft, and more than 3,700 personnel, it is the largest Royal Navy flotilla to depart the UK in decades. Last month, the Carrier Strike Group began its first operational deployment, and it will take part in a seven-month global deployment through the Mediterranean and Indian Oceans and then to the Pacific.

Along the way, HMS Queen Elizabeth and the other warships will interact with more than one-fifth of the world's nations – more than forty in total – including multiple NATO partners during its 26,000 nautical mile global tour. The new carrier is also part of a multi-national force that includes six Royal Navy ships and submarines, a U.S. Navy destroyer, and a frigate from the Royal Dutch Navy.

The maiden voyage of the new British aircraft carrier is also being seen as a way for the UK to show its allies in the post-Brexit era that the Royal Navy is ready to defend western interests. It is also a show of force meant to alert Beijing that the nation that once "ruled the waves" will continue to defend the freedom of navigation around the globe.
