The ark is getting cut up later this year. But the Lusty is going to be spared that fate.

But apparently; the reason why the Ark couldn't be spared is because she was cannibalized for parts for the Lusty.

The United Kingdom Ministry of Defence announced that once the Lusty retires from active service next year; she is to be preserved for the nation. Pretty words.

While even getting a picture of the Ark Royal is impressive (are you a Russian spy? ) the fact that one of the cranes blocks the view is dissappointing...

Does the Royal Navy have any more carriers? Or was Ark Royal the last?

Sad to see the Ark Royal go, but if you're getting a pair of shiny new ones, that can't be too bad. Besides, you can always borrow one of ours
