The International Fleet review

The Carriers assembled at the Review.

The International Fleet Review took place on 28 June 2005, as part of the celebrations to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The Review took place on the Solent, between Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight, in England. The Fleet Review is a 600 year old British tradition, and this Review was one of the only one's to feature a large number of foreign warships. 167 ships attended the review, including 56 British warships. The Review was conducted by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on board the Royal Navy Antarctic Patrol Vessel HMS Endurance. Huge crowds gathered along Southsea Common and and Gosport Sea Front, to witness the largest gathering of naval vessels in the Solent since the Queen's Silver Jubilee Fleet Review in 1977. At the end of the days festivities, centred around the review, a massive firework display was held, now known to be the largest firework display ever.
