The HMS Queen Elizabeth’s carrier group is planned to represent the UK in the celebrations for the 200th anniversary of the 1821 Greek War of Independence, but sources argue that it is also related to British interest to sell Type 31 frigates to the Greek Navy.

HMS Queen Elizabeth and her Carrier Strike Group will deploy to the Pacific later this year, stopping off at many allied ports and exercising with many allied forces.
