The Carrier Strike Group 21 (CGS21) will be Britain's largest naval flotilla assembled in recent years and will set sail in May on a months' long voyage through the Indo-Pacific region. The strike group will be led by the Royal Navy’s new 65,000 tonne aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth, marking its maiden deployment. The deployment comes in the wake of Brexit and Britain ensuring its naval dominance projection, coming second to the United States' 7th Fleet.
