The british aircraft carrier 'HMS Queen Elizabeth' sets sail from Portsmouth on Saturday evening on its way across the Atlantic to US - without a single warplane on board. HMS Queen Elizabeth is the lead ship of the Queen Elizabeth class of aircraft carriers, the largest warships ever built for the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom and capable of carrying up to 60 aircraft.

The Yasen-class nuclear submarine is presumed to be armed with land-attack cruise missiles, anti-ship missiles, anti-submarine missiles including the P-800 Oniks SLCM, Kalibr family SLCM, or 3M51 SLCM.[7] Kalibr-PL has several variants including the 3M54K (terminal-supersonic) and 3M54K1 (subsonic) antiship, 91R1 antisubmarine, and the 3M14K land-attack variant. For the 855M Zircon (missile) hypersonic long-range[52] Each submarine can carry 32 Kalibr or 24 Oniks (Note: other sources claim 40 Kalibr and 32 Oniks)[53] missiles which are stored in eight vertical launchers (additional missiles may be carried in the torpedo room at the expense of torpedoes).[54][55][56][57] It will also have eight 650 mm and two 533 mm tubes as well as mines and anti-ship missiles such as the RPK-7.
This class is the first Russian submarine to be equipped with a spherical sonar, designated as MGK-600 Irtysh-Amfora.[58] The device (allegedly the Irtysh/Amfora sonar system) was tested on a modified Yankee class submarine.[59] The sonar system consists of a spherical bow array, flank arrays and a towed array. Due to the large size of this spherical array, the torpedo tubes are slanted.[18] In other words, the torpedo tube outer doors are not located in the immediate bow as in the previous Akula class[60] but moved aft.[61] The hull is constructed from low-magnetic steel.[62] Unlike previous Russian submarines which have a double hull, the Yasen-class submarines mostly have a single hull.[63] The submarine has a crew of about 90, suggesting a high degree of automation in the submarine's different systems. The newest USA attack submarine, the Virginia-class submarine, has a crew of 134 in comparison.
Yasen-class submarines will be the first Russian SSNs/SSGNs equipped with a fourth generation nuclear reactor.[64][65] The reactor (built by Afrikantov OKBM)[66][67] will allegedly have a 25-30 year core life and will not have to be refueled.[68]
Steam turbines were supplied by Kaluga Turbine Works.[69]
A VSK rescue pod is carried in the sail.[18] -
Several fires erupted from Gazan balloons, one in the Beeri Forest.
Despite talk of an imminent truce in the Gaza Strip, around 5000 of Palestinians once again gathered near the border with Israel Friday for the weekly Hamas-backed demonstrations, with some rioters attacking Israeli soldiers along the fence.
Hamas leadership had urged the public to participate in Friday's protests.
Some were hurling rocks at soldiers and burning tires to create a smokescreen. The IDF said rioters hurled improvised bombs and Molotov cocktails at troops. Others launched balloons carrying pictures of "martyrs" who had been killed by Israel. Several attempted to infiltrate the border.
The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza reported that two men had been killed.
Meanwhile an incendiary balloon launched from the Strip sparked a fire near Kibbutz Be'eri. Firefighters were at the scene.
Sources in the Israeli Defense Ministry said the events of the day would be a test of Hamas's willingness and ability to enforce calm as part of a deal. An unconfirmed Lebanese television report Thursday said the truce was set to last for a year and see the establishment of a cargo shipping connection between Gaza and Cyprus.

The A-10 Thunderbolt is arguably the best close-air support plane in history thanks, primarily, to its GAU-8 cannon. The seven-barreled, 30mm Gatling gun holds 1,129 rounds and can chew up a modern tank. Despite its massive success in the air, the GAU-8 has proven to be far more versatile. Believe it or not, the GAU-8 is also at the heart of a last-ditch, anti-missile system used by a number of navies. That system is called the Goalkeeper.
The Goalkeeper uses a combination of sophisticated radars to detect incoming threats, typically missiles, and fires rounds from its cannon to obliterate the target before it can harm the ship. In function, this defense system is very similar to the U.S.'s Phalanx - the albino-R2D2 looking thing found on virtually every American ship built since the 1980s. The Phalanx, by comparison, uses the M61, a 20mm Gatling gun. It's been upgraded over the years and has an effective range of roughly one mile. -
