HMS "Prince of Wales" coped with bad weather during tests: in Britain they boast of an aircraft carrier
- noted in a statement by shipbuilders.
According to them, a ship with a displacement of 65 thousand tons collided with an 6-point wave of the sea, at which the wave height reached the height of an 2-story building, but the ship "cut through them relatively easily." According to the Beaufort scale, the wave height from 5,5 to 7,5 m indicates the strength of the wind, followed by the storm. Frankly, it would be strange if the modern aircraft carrier could not cope with the weather, at which the maximum wave height is 6 meters.
- noted in the Aircraft Carrier Alliance.
Currently, the aircraft carrier has already exceeded the maximum speed in 25 nodes during testing of the power plant, sometimes bringing it to 30 nodes. In general, trials in the North Sea are evaluated very positively by shipbuilders. About the leak, which the newest British aircraft carriers have already encountered more than once, this time nothing was reported.
