Captain takes control of Navy's latest aircraft carrier
The commanding officer of HMS Queen Elizabeth takes control of what he expects to be one of the last major aircraft carriers built in the UK.
www.bbc.comI don’t have live access to the latest news right now. Here’s what I can share based on recent publicly reported information up to my last update:
- The HMS Queen Elizabeth has had several captains over the years, with notable public coverage when a captain was relieved of command in 2019 for disciplinary reasons. If you’re asking about the current captain as of April 2026, I’d need to check the latest sources to confirm who is in command now.[1]
If you’d like, I can look up current leadership and latest news and provide a concise summary with citations. Please confirm you want me to search for the most recent captain and deployments.
