Two carrier related things this morning:

!. Prince Of Wales is being named today. Here is an article from Janes about her importance to regenerating Carrier Strike in the shortest possible timeframe.

2. HMS Ocean is reported to be off to the Caribbean in the wake of Hurricane Irma. Even for disaster relief, a large ship with a large flight deck (and multiple helicopters), organic logistics, C3, and so on gives you options. Earlier in the year she was acting as Flagship for TF50 in the Middle East
