Ship building returned to the River Mersey today Monday July 26 when construction of the flight deck for the Royal Navy’s new aircraft carrier, the Queen Elizabeth was officially started by Minister for International Security Strategy, Gerald Howarth MP.

The Birkenhead facility is the sixth UK ship yard to commence manufacture of the 65,000 tonne ship, with work already underway at BAE Systems in Glasgow and Portsmouth, at Babcock’s facilities in Appledore, North Devon and Rosyth in Fife as well as A&P Tyne in Hebburn on Tyneside.

Cammell Laird was awarded the £44M contract to build two huge sections of the first new aircraft carrier, the Queen Elizabeth, by the Aircraft Carrier Alliance in late 2009 and since then much work has been underway at the facility to accommodate the manufacture of these huge steel structures.
