The Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth (R08) returned to Portsmouth, UK on the 4th June 2020 to embark personnel from 617 Squadron (The Dambusters) along with their equipment to support an air wing of F-35B Lightning II fighter aircraft. The ship will then sail and lead a carrier strike group in an exercise named Crimson Ocean. The F-35B aircraft and accompanying helicopters will most likely join the ship once she is back at sea.
