The following images leaked by the Royal Navy on their Facebook page show the bow section of the Prince of Wales aircraft carrier currently under construction. As you can see however, the relative size of the bow bulb indicates this ship will be far bigger than any ship the world has ever seen.

Maybe we’re completely wrong and it’s just an optical illusion.
Disclaimer – this is meant to be a joke for all of you who think we’re actually serious about a secret aircraft carrier being built by the British.
The first ship in this class of aircraft carrier is the Queen Elizabeth and is 920 feet long.
