HMS Ark Royal - 4 DVD Box Set

Product Description

There has been an Ark Royal in the British fleet since 1587. But now that its final incarnation has been decommissioned there will no longer be any ship bearing this illustrious name. Discovery Channel joins the crew of the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal on her final, poignant voyage to see what life is like aboard a fully functioning warship on their final deployments. With exclusive access to all areas of the ship, we follow HMS Ark Royal on various missions across the Atlantic. For many of the crew it will be their first & perhaps last experience of life at sea, testing their ability to live & work in cramped, pressurised conditions. The fleet first heads to Halifax to celebrate the Canadian Navy centenary before they continue down the Eastern Seaboard to the Mayport, Florida, timed to coincide with Fleet Week, the American celebration of the US Navy. They then continue their voyage to drop-off the Marines of 42 Commando in North Carolina for training. Before finally, the Ark Royal will head back to the UK as She prepares to go out of service.
