Britain’s new £3 billion aircraft carrier
will allow the UK to take its place at the top table of the world’s military
powers, a senior commander has said.
Commodore Andrew Betton said the flagship HMS Queen
Elizabeth was “firmly the right thing” for the UK to invest in, given its role
as a permanent member of the United Nations security council.
Other military leaders said the Queen Elizabeth and its
sister ship HMS Prince of Wales would mark Britain as a player on the world
map, and be able to match the capabilities of the larger fleet of US warships.
