Thousands of engineers from across the country were involved in building them and HMS Prince of Wales visit to Liverpool was a great opportunity to recognise their efforts. We were thrilled to invite so many young engineers of the future on board the ship to meet with the UKs best and brightest who helped build these carriers.Over the weekend of 29 February it will be the first time an aircraft carrier is open to the public.
