Douglas Bay To Welcome The UK’s Fleet Flagship
quote:
The Royal Navy’s Fleet Flagship, HMS Ark Royal, will become the first aircraft carrier to be seen off the coast of the Isle of Man in over a decade when she sails into Douglas Bay on Monday, 9 June 2008.
The 20,000 tonne Invincible Class aircraft carrier will be en route from Liverpool back to sea to continue a period of operational flying training, and will be dropping off some of the Island’s VIPs, including the Lieutenant Governor, the President and the Chief Minister.
