The Aircraft Carrier Alliance was a partnership formed to build the two Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers for the Royal Navy. Its partners were the shipbuilder BAE Systems, the support and engineering group Babcock International, the defence and electronics company Thales Group and the British Ministry of Defence, which acted both as a partner and as the client. Rosyth Dockyard in Scotland, where the ships were assembled, took part together with the alliance. Besides Rosyth and the BAE Systems yard at Govan on the Clyde, four other yards worked on the build: A&P Tyne, Appledore Shipbuilders, Cammell Laird and HMNB Portsmouth. As a make in this atlas it covers the carriers built under the alliance.
