Summary[edit]

Description
English: Pictured in formation are, RFA Tideforce (lead), HMS Northumberland (her left), USS Truxton (her far left), HMS Dragon (her right), USS Philippine Sea (her far right) with HMS Queen Elizabeth at the rear during Exercise Westlant 19.

HMS Queen Elizabeth is the biggest ship ever constructed for the Royal Navy, Exercise Westlant 19 puts this formidable warship and her embarked F-35 fighter jets through their paces on the USA Eastern Seaboard.

Along with HMS Dragon and HMS Northumberland, these ships form the Carrier Strike Group. Supported by RFA Tideforce they were also joined by units from the United States Navy, US Air Force and US Marine Corps.

As well as testing the capability of HMS Queen Elizabeth and the F-35, Westlant is an excellent opportunity to strengthen ties with one of our most important allies: The United States.

Westlant allows the Royal Navy to bring together the aircraft with a whole carrier task group to deliver a truly potent force.
