Wouldn't it have been quite a sight if the Russian carrier returned when HMS Queen Elizabeth enters service, at which point we can see a size comparison of both ships alongside?

U.K. Royal Navy escorts Russian military ships in ‘routine’ operation in English Channel

ONDON — A Royal Navy warship has met and tracked a group of Russian military ships entering the English Channel in an operation that the Ministry of Defence repeatedly stressed was a routine matter.
