    Judging by the fact that the front of that flat deck has a ski jump, I’d wager that it’s the HMS Queen Elizabeth, which does in fact have a dual-island design.

      That explains my confusion. Something looked really off and and my brain couldn’t compute what I was seeing, TBH. The elevators looked right, but I still wasn’t sure.

      Edit: There more. Is that whole group British? The last two fixed wing aircraft that fly by aren’t 'murican either. I see a Black Hawk-type helicopter, I think. We use SH/HH-60s in our Navy that have their rear strut moved way forward. The British and Americans both use LCACs as well. The leading helicopter might actually be a Merlin followed by some Wildcats. Alas, all I can make are stupid guesses now.
