More than 200 loved ones were welcomed aboard the HMS Queen Elizabeth flight deck last week, with the ship’s X account sharing a picture of proud parents and personnel.
A statement issued from the account said the crew couldn’t do anything without the support of the families. Many social media users praised the decision, but the decision was criticised by a minority . One user said the country’s carriers “should spend less days on photo ops and more time on operation”, describing the warships as a “shocking waste of taxpayers money”.
HMS Queen Elizabeth hosted a family day for the ship's company, with more than 200 hosted on board. Some criticised the decision on social media, but The News readers whole-heartedly backed the decision. | Sarah Standing (080923-8307) Sign up to our daily newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!
