The Royal Navy is speeding up deployment plans for HMS Prince of Wales amid rising conflict in the Middle East. The aircraft carrier’s readiness time has been slashed from 10 days to just 5, preparing it for rapid action.
Armed with deadly F-35 fighter jets, HMS Prince of Wales could soon be patrolling the Gulf or Cyprus, ready to boost British military presence if the situation worsens. Crews have been put on alert, with tensions escalating following US and Israeli operations targeting Iran.
