As it was informed by "Market Leader (US)"
Great Britain: everything for sale!
The BBC reports that the UK farewells to the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal of the Royal Navy in its home port in Portsmouth.
The warship, which served in Iraq, will be replaced by the Queen Elizabeth class of aircraft carrier. However it will not come into service until the end of the decade, the BBC reports.
In autumn 2010 the UK authorities decided to discard the warship and sell it.
The UK Ministry of Defense has already ordered a couple of new aircraft carriers and is going to spend a lot of money taken from the budget. It should be noted that the state of the UK budget will definitely influence the British Pound currency rate.
