She looks in wonderful order, I for one feel sad that the Type-42 is going to be signed to history so soon.

This from my visit yesterday

The intention was to tour the ship, but a minimum two hour-long queue persuaded me that the Cutty Sark was a better option

The intention was to tour the ship...

HMS Illustrious was open to the public?

Damn and blast!!!

I went down especially to HMS Belfast to look at (but not go aboard) HMS Edinburgh; nowhere did I see any mention that HMS Illustrious would be open to the public (or even present at Greenwich)?
