An identical warship of the same size is currently being built and will be launched in a year or so, known as the the HMS Prince of Wales. Both cost around £3bn each and can carry up to 900 troops in each. Their homeport when fully operational will be Portsmouth - it'll be impressive seeing these two sailing to and from the harbour.

Thoughts?
