Picked a bad week for the first in-harbour launch.....doubt it'll get away before Monday, given forecasts.
Lighters only really useful if you have a contiguous RNAY - which we don't anymore. If they wanted to take it by road, it'd be off the deck edge lift onto the quayside. But it won't.
It will be loud. Watched Hermes launch half a dozen SHAR in Portsmouth back in 82 and still remember it to this day.
