Flight Deck Training on the USS DWIGHT G.EISENHOWER – a four strong Royal Navy Flight Deck team are learning (or rather recovering) crucial skills for the future Aircraft Carriers onboard the American Carrier USS DWIGHT G.EISENHOWER.    The first “Brits” have qualified to marshal jets around the deck of the American Aircraft Carrier currently on operations in the Middle East.    This training is part of an agreement with Washington – the US-UK Long Lead Specialist Skills Programme – a kernel of around 300 personnel from both the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force will be trained aboard American warships until the end of the decade.     Since the beginning of 2013  Royal Navy personnel have also been serving with the Assault Ship USS KEARSARGE.
