HMS Prince of Wales - one of two £3.5bn British aircraft carriers - recently set sail for its maiden voyage to the Indo-Pacific, and War on Tape was invited along for the ride. We got to see exactly how this floating airfield rules the waves, from launching its squadrons of F-35 stealth fighters, to preparing the bombs they carry, and seeing how the crew of 1,600 people keep the whole operation running like clockwork. This is what life is like aboard one of the most powerful warships afloat today, and why she is vital to protecting Britain’s interests abroad.
