The enthralling story of the HMS Queen Elizabeth, the Royal Navy's
largest ever warship 'Fascinating, often funny and sometimes moving
. . . Terrill 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 50
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 Queen
Elizabeth and the men and women who have brought her to life. From
Jerry Kyd, the ship's inspirational Captain to Lt Cdr Nathan Grey,
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. ________ 'A detailed account of the challenges, trials and
triumphs on the ship's progression . . . and a portrait of the men
and women who made it happen. [Terrill] writes with affection,
humour and understanding' TELEGRAPH
