Aircraft Carrier Alliance
The Aircraft Carrier Alliance is a partnership of BAE Systems, Babcock International, Thales Group and the Ministry of Defence (which acts as both partner and client),[1] together with Rosyth Dockyard, to build the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers for the Royal Navy.[2] Along with Rosyth and BAE Systems' Govan yard, four other shipyards are involved in the build process, including A&P Tyne, Appledore Shipbuilders, Cammell Laird (formerly Birkenhead) and HMNB Portsmouth.[2]
