As Her Majesty's Ship Queen Elizabeth approached the Republic of Korea she charmingly published a greeting in the local Hangul script.
However,she did not display a sailor of local ethnic origin,as she did with Jagjeet Singh Grewal in India (it is not clear if he has received an apology for being racially exploited),after decades of budget cuts the Royal Navy may not have enough Koreans to issue every vessel with one.
When she arrived in South Korea,her officers hypocritically failed to illuminate their vessel in rainbow colours or boycott bilateral exercises in protest at their host's policy of incarcerating homosexual sailors.
Commodore Steve Moorhouse,the Commander of the United Kingdom's Carrier Strike Group,also failed to draw attention to the plight of homosexuals in the Republic of Korea's Navy by gluing himself to South Korean Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Boo Suk-Jong and Deputy Fleet Commander Rear Admiral Choi Sungmok (don’t ever be afraid to show off your true colours Steve).
It has not yet been confirmed if Her Majesty's Ship Queen Elizabeth shall in future blockade the Port of Newcastle,one of the world's largest coal exporting ports,as the flagship of an Extinction Rebellion direct action to save the planet from climate improvement.
Naval officers who engage in political activism (attempting to impose one's opinions on others,who are by implication considered inferior) make themselves,and their service,legitimate political targets and we know how that ends.
