Ladies and Gentlemen,

after work has started more then 3 years ago, the day has finaly arrived.
the work on the Royal Navy's new Light Aircraft Carrier, "HMS Courageous", is finanly finished.
earlier this night, she has left the drydock of the bench, out to op waters (or at least the bedsheat) for its sea trials, prior to being handed over to the Brittish Royal Navy.

the only thing that needs to be done is draw some arrestorwires across the deck and a few touch-ups here and there.
otherwise the ship is complete, all thats left to do now is give the Fleet Air Arm the remainder of its airwing (witch is to follow later.

so without further adeu, here are the first pictures of the sea trials  :mellow:

God bless her and all who servo on board her.
















on the bench:

-all kinds of things.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
