Thank you very much, Jim. These are some really great photos. I especially like the fog - just makes it seem that much more surreal. Kind of surprised at first that she's not a larger ship. I'm used to seeing the behemoth carriers in our fleets here. :DL

What are they planning to do with her once she's been fully decommissioned? Would be a crying shame to see her go to scrap. :-?

Just a wee 22,000 tons....no decision has yet been taken but the estimated cost to keep her as a museum is £1 million a yearand I'm confident the government won't fund it so it would be down to a private consortiom.

My guess is she'll eventually be scrapped.

Some company in China wants to buy her for 7 million and tie her up in Brittan somewhere as a Museum to "Foster Western-Chinese relations"...
