Fire on British aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth. Most recently, fire apparently broke out in an air conditioning unit.
About 100 bunks were destroyed before the fire was extinguished after five hours. Already missed NATO exercises in February This is not the first incident with the “Queen Elizabeth,” which has been fully operational since 2021. The aircraft carrier was unable to take part in the largest NATO exercise in decades at the beginning of February due to a technical problem. Instead, the sister ship “HMS Prince of Wales” set sail, which in turn had to abort the journey to joint exercises with US and Canadian navies after a few miles.
