Illustrious arrives at Rosyth

HMS Illustrious arrived at Rosyth today in preparation for a 13 month docking period to start next month, in a £40 million contract awarded under the Surface Ship Support Alliance (the alliance between the MoD, Babcock and BAE Systems). This is the fifth refit to be undertaken by Babcock on the Invincible class aircraft carriers (CVS) and second to be carried out by the company’s highly experienced team on HMS Illustrious..
