Description

HMS Victory overlooking HMS Illustrious in Portsmouthss Historic Dockyard.

After 32 years of service, HMS Illustrious was taken out of service on 28 August 2014.
The R06 aircraft carrier, which calls Portsmouth its homeport, lowered its White Ensign one last time during a decommissioning ceremony at Portsmouth�s Naval Base and Historic Dockyard.
In a lasting tribute to all of those who served with the HMS Illustrious, the Ministry of Defence is looking to preserve the vessel, accepting offers from private companies, charities, and trusts on the condition that Lusty, as she is affectionately known, remains in the UK.
