Summary:
"The enthralling story of the HMS Queen Elizabeth, the Royal Navy's largest ever warship. Christopher Terrill [an anthropologist and one of the UK's leading adventure documentary makers, who was embedded in the ship's company of HMS Queen Elizabeth to make two major documenatary series for the BBC] takes us deep into the bowels of Britain's biggest warship. Exhilarating The Times 65,000 tons. 280 metres long. A flight deck the size of sixty tennis courts. A giant piece of Sovereign British territory that's home to up to fifty Aircraft. HMS Queen Elizabeth is 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 its best: innovative, confident, outward-looking and world-beating."--From publisher.
