Navy-mad James wrote to the First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir George Zambellas, to ask if he could attend the naming ceremony of the new aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth in Scotland. Unfortunately all the tickets for the event had gone, so Admiral Zambellas arranged for a personal tour of Type 45 destroyer HMS Dauntless in Portsmouth instead. James was taken to every part of the ship including the hangar, bridge and flight deck. He also enjoyed a glass of squash in the wardroom with officers and climbed into the captain’s chair on the bridge. Such an exciting day - well done James! Click
