xanthocryptus novozealandicus is a wasp in the family ichneumonidae . it is a native insect of new zealand . it is also found in australia and new guinea . females hunt for larvae of wood - boring beetles around march , including the lemon tree borer ( oemona hirta ) , a native cerambycid that tunnels into citrus trees , grapes and many native species .
characteristics of xanthocryptus include : 1 . body size : < 10mm [ male ] , but 10 - 20mm [ female ] ; 2 . position of spiracle on t1 is at , close to , or before centre ; 3 . shape of aerolet in forewing is very small pentagonal ( closed ) ; 4 . colour of face is not all black ; 5 . metasoma compressed is dorsal - ventrally ; 6 . size of ocelli are small ; 7 . length of antennae is shorter than body ; 8 . length of ovipositor is very distinct but not longer than body ; 9 . wings present ; 10 . colour of wings hyaline ( clear ) , or very lightly darkened ; 11 . sternaulus ( on mesopleuron ) varies from short ( less than 0 . 5x length mesopleuron ) to long ( more than 0 . 5x length mesopleuron ) ; 12 . shape of face in lateral view is flat or only weakly bulging ; 13 . sternite on t1 ( viewed laterally ) does not extend past spiracle in the female , but it does extend past spiracle for the male ; 14 . shape of t1 ( viewed laterally ) is evenly curved ; 15 . number of teeth in mandibles 2 ; 16 .
we undertake research relating to both native and introduced species , with these latter posing a biosecurity risk to our natural ecosystems . native species are distinctive and diverse , and work focuses on identifying and describing species .
; 17 . length of t1 vs t2 subequal in length ; 18 . sculpture on mesoscutum is somewhat polished but also finely pitted , many hairs ; 19 . width of t1 ( viewed dorsally ) of uniform width [ male ] but t1 gradually widening from anterior to posterior [ female ] ; 20 . glymma on t1 absent ; 21 . sculpture on metasoma smooth with a semi - glossy or satin appearance at least on t2 ; 22 . propodeum reaching past coxal insertion , but not reaching halfway along metacoxae .

as the common name suggests , this beautiful ichneumonid wasp parasites larvae of the lemon tree borer ( a native longhorn beetle ) as well as other wood - boring beetle larvae . this individual ' s lack of an ovipositor ( a long , thin structure that looks like a sting ) identifies it as a male and therefore of no direct threat to beetle larvae . he cooperated nicely for this photograph , staying mostly motionless while i worked hard to get a well - focused photograph ( a gusty wind made photographing difficult ) . usually they ' re flying constantly , alighting only for a few seconds .

thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the iucn red list of threatened species website , we are grateful for your input .

the value of medicinal and aromatic plant trade has increased three - fold in the past 20 years , but traditional harvesting practices are being replaced by less sustainable alternatives . . . .
a recently released iucn technical brief recommends increasing investments in sustainable land management practices , as well as better cooperation between agriculturalists and conservationists to conse . . .

justification : listed as vulnerable because its extent of occurrence ( eoo ) is 10 , 901 km 2 , it occurs in less than 10 threat - defined locations and there is ongoing decline in the extent and quality of habitat .
this species has been found to be abundant at least on mount manengouba and at galim . it is probably generally abundant in the cameroonian highlands . as it is a water - dependent species , restricted to high elevations , its entire population is believed to be severely fragmented . due to ongoing decline in the extent and quality of habitat and the utilization of this species for food , the population is suspected to be decreasing .
it is water - dependent and has been found in a shallow crater lake overgrown with grass , in a swamp , and in artificial fishponds . these are generally situated in areas of montane grassland and pastureland . it breeds in still water and , outside the breeding seasons , migrates for short distances over land . habitat is gradually declining in extent and quality .
this species is harvested locally from the wild and is the main source of protein during the dry season . it is eaten in all life stages from tadpoles to adult individuals ( altherr et al . 2011 ) .
this species is harvested locally and some of its habitats might be under threat from expanding agriculture , overgrazing by livestock , and human settlements . however , it does appear to be capable of colonizing artificial habitats , and it can co - exist with some introduced fish species . given that the taxonomy is unclear , harvesting and other human - caused threats may have a massive impact on local subpopulations ( n . gonwouo , m . hirschfeld and m . barej pers . comm . june 2012 ) . furthermore , on mount manengouba , the use of herbicides and pesticides here is suspected to have long - term effects on the stream habitat , affecting the larval stage , and this threat is expected to increase as human activity in the area increases ( n . gonwouo pers . comm . june 2012 ) .
so it is not known whether chytridiomycosis is a threat , but other species ( unnamed ) in the genus had mixed results and individuals from the northwestern highlands of cameroon tested negative for bd in the study by doherty - bone et al . ( 2008 ) .
conservation actions this species does not occur in any protected areas . conservation needed the protected area network in western cameroon urgently needs to be expanded to include the remaining montane forest habitats , particularly those on mount manengouba , which has been proposed as a protected area ( n . gonwouo pers . comm . may 2012 ) . research needed more information is needed on this species ' taxonomy , distribution , population status , natural history , and threats .
to make use of this information , please check the < terms of use > .
this species is known only from highland areas of western cameroon , in particular from mount manenguba and the bamileke and bamenda plateaus . specific localities include mount manenguba ( 1 , 900m asl ) , the mifi - noun river near galim ( 1 , 100m asl ) , mbouda ( 1 , 400m asl ) , tadu ( near mount oku ) , ber , nkoutoupi , nchoupa , and bangourain . it is probable that specimens from manengole ( 600 - 700m asl ) and bangwa ( 1 , 400 - 1 , 500m asl ) belong to this species .

the largest lift capacity crane in britain completed commissioning today ( 29 june ) at babcock ' s rosyth dockyard . the goliath crane is to be used in the assembly and integration of the uk ' s new queen elizabeth class aircraft carriers by babcock at its rosyth dockyard and will see its first operational use in the autumn following a series of proving trials .
the goliath crane left its construction site in shanghai , china , on 17 december on the deck of a specialist crane transport vessel .
the 223 - foot tall crane , named goliath , was on the last leg of a mammoth two - and - a - half month 14 , 000 mile journey from shanghai where it was built to its new home at rosyth dockyard in fife .
it arrived in the firth of forth following a 14 , 000 - nautical - mile sea voyage to rosyth dockyard .
“the goliath crane is an essential element in babcock’s commitment to completing the assembly of the hms queen elizabeth and the hms prince of wales . ”
what happens after the carriers are finished ? lets look at the long term prospects of the yard . the large goliath crane what happens with that ?
the crane , known as goliath , is 68 metres high and will be used to assemble the blocks of two new royal navy aircraft carriers , queen elizabeth and prince of wales .
bam ritchies installed 293 610mm diameter raking piles with up to ten metre deep rock sockets as part of the goliath crane rail beam foundations . the piles were installed in a trench adjacent to the existing dockside buildings .
“it will be great to see the crane in action as blocks of the ship start to arrive in rosyth in the months to come and hms queen elizabeth starts to take shape . ”
the goliath crane ordered by babcock for the final assembly of the aircraft carriers at rosyth arrived at the dockyard today from shanghai zhenhua port machinery co ltd ( zpmc ) yard , where it has been manufactured . the transport vessel ( with a beam of 39 metres and overall length of 244 metres ) bringing the crane will enter the non - tidal basin via the newly widened direct entrance , completed in december 2010 .
when it arrives at rosyth it will be erected to its full height on the ship deck over a six week period , before being winched from ship to shore directly onto the crane rails .
geoff searle , director of the aircraft carrier alliance programme , said : “this is yet another important milestone for the aircraft carrier alliance . the goliath crane will be the largest structure of its type in europe and will dominate the skyline in fife .
monday 26th june 2017 saw the hms queen elizabeth aircraft carrier depart the rosyth dockyard where she was assembled underneath the goliath crane . it took no less than 11 tugs 3 hours to free the carrier from the basin of rosyth dockyard ! the clearance from the seabed was 50cm and 15cm from either side of the basin . the queen had to be floated at high tide and must wait for low tide before attempting a transit under the 3 forth bridges of queensferry crossing , forth road bridge and forth bridge . i have over 3 hours of 4k footage of this event and have compressed it to 3 minutes and put it to the benny hill theme tune due to the tug frenzy !
the crane , which cost £12 . 2m ( $ 20m ) and took two years to build , will be used by babcock in the assembly of the royal navy ' s queen elizabeth class aircraft carriers at rosyth .
the partially - erected crane arrived at rosyth earlier this year from china , where it was manufactured . the last four months have seen a busy programme to erect , test and commission the crane , involving around 100 people .
the goliath crane will be the largest in britain , at a height of 68 metres to the underside of the main beams , with a span of 120 metres to cover the construction area of the new carriers at rosyth . the crane , which was selected on the basis of its safety , efficiency and cost , will lift and place the carrier sub - blocks , and components including the upper blocks and sponsons , bow block , islands , and aircraft lifts , without disrupting the dockside area adjacent to the ship .
commenting on the latest progress , babcock project director sean donaldson said :
the arrival of the goliath crane via the newly widened direct entrance is a significant visible milestone in the aircraft carrier programme , and an exciting step forward . the civil works , crane , electrical package and general shipyard upgrade forms a £80m programme designed to make the babcock rosyth facility capable of assembling the queen elizabeth class aircraft carriers . all projects within the programme are performing to budget and schedule , to high safety standards , and when complete the facility will be unique in the uk .
in february 2008 , a four year £50m contract was awarded to rosyth dockyard for the assembly of two 65 , 000 tonne aircraft ( helicopter ) carriers , each 280m long , 70m wide and 56m high . hms queen elizabeth will begin service in 2016 and hms prince of wales in 2019 .
training is scheduled to take place this summer with drivers already being trained on a specialist simulator , and the crane will be ready for operation from september in line with the carrier build programme , when the next lower and centre blocks arrive at rosyth and the assembly cycle to install the first of the upper blocks onto the lower begins .
the partially - erected crane ( with the girder and upper sections of the legs assembled ) has been shipped to the uk mounted on the deck of a specialist transport vessel from the chinese crane manufacturer ' s fleet , along with all components and erection equipment including temporary erection towers , which will be used in rosyth to complete the crane assembly .
a supply branch line to the railway between dunfermline and queensferry was built in 1905 - 7 , starting near jamestown and ending west of rosyth castle . construction began at the dockyard site in march 1909 and the pace of work accelerated in 1912 as world war i ( 1914 - 18 ) approached . the contract was scheduled to be completed within seven years .
the last nuclear submarine refitting programme ended in 2003 . rosyth is now home to seven decommissioned nuclear submarines — the 4 , 600 tonne ‘hunter - killers’ dreadnought , churchill and swiftsure , and the 7 , 800 tonne polaris submarines revenge , resolution , renown and repulse . when these were decommissioned , the nuclear fuel was transferred to sellafield in cumbria and none remains at the dockyard .
the work ( engineered by halcrow ) includes modification of no . 1 dock , with 295 bored concrete piles 600mm in diameter and 150 rock anchors , and removal of granite blocks from the dock floor . a goliath gantry crane with a 1 , 000 tonne lifting capacity will straddle the dock . the former emergency exit from the inner basin is being widened to 42m and fitted with a retractable sliding gate . most of the north quay wall is being rebuilt .
the dockyard at rosyth , on the north side of the firth of forth , was constructed as a naval base for world war i battleships , and was also used during world war ii . later it became home to the uk ' s nuclear submarines . in 1997 , it became the first british naval dockyard to be privatised . it is now used for the assembly of aircraft carriers .

the crane was constructed in china by specialist manufacturer shanghai zhenhua port machinery co ltd ( zpmc ) , with babcock undertaking rigorous quality control management during the course of the two year build . it was delivered to rosyth in march this year with the girder and upper sections of the legs assembled , along with all the components and erection equipment required to complete the crane assembly on site , including temporary erection towers .
the first warship to enter the main basin was hms zealandia ( launched 1904 ) , sailing through the emergency exit and berthing at no . 1 dock in march 1916 to mark the beginning of the dockyard fully - operational life . the entrance lock was used first in june 1916 by the battleship hms warspite ( launched 1913 ) , when she came in for repairs after critical damage sustained during the battle of jutland and on her way to rosyth .
at its peak , the dockyard had a workforce of 6 , 000 men . the town of rosyth was built as a garden city in 1915 - 8 to house those employed there . workers were formerly housed in a settlement on admiralty land known as ' tin town ' . after world war i , trade at the dockyard dwindled and short - time working began in 1921 . it closed in 1925 and was placed under a care and maintenance order the following year .
following arrival at rosyth , the crane was erected to its full height on the ship deck , including jacking up the main beam and installing the legs at each end , the crane was then transferred from ship to shore in may , directly onto the purpose - installed crane rails . the programme to erect , test and commission the crane has also involved completion of the electrical cable installation , setting to work , and initial load testing of the completed assembly , ready for the first lift today .
rosyth dockyard re - opened in 1938 , as war was again imminent . after world war ii ( 1939 - 45 ) it was redeveloped to refit conventional and nuclear submarines , frigates , minesweepers and offshore protection vessels . britain’s first nuclear - powered submarine , another hms dreadnought , began her service here in 1963 and the third polaris - armed submarine hms renown was refitted here in 1971 - 3 . the syncrolift , which lifts vessels out of the water for refitting or maintenance under cover , opened in 1980 .
the arrival of the crane also marks the first use of the newly widened direct entrance . rosyth has the largest non - tidal basin for ship repair in the uk , separated from the firth of forth by a sliding gate entrance to hold the water back . this has been widened by four metres to over 42 metres ( removing eight metres on one side , and adding four to the other ) to allow entry of the blocks from the various dockyards where they are being built , departure of the completed vessel , and return for maintenance , in a grand civil engineering project .
at the start of the year the hull of hms queen elizabeth was structurally complete , but there were still a number of catwalks , radars and masts to be installed , underwater there were tanks to be closed up overboard inlet and discharge piping to be made watertight and the installation of shafting and propellers to be completed . many people thought that completing this work together with applying the 1 . 5million metres squared of paint in time for the naming ceremony and float out in july was a very tall order , but it was all achieved and on the 17 th july hms queen elizabeth was afloat and alongside her berth in the non - tidal basin at rosyth .
as we approach the end of the year it is quite interesting to look back at what has happened in the project to deliver the queen elizabeth class aircraft carriers over the past 12 months . if 2011 was characterised by the building of large blocks at locations all around the country , 2012 was all about transporting the finished blocks to rosyth and 2013 about assembling the blocks within the build dock . 2014 however was the year in which we moved from a construction project in the dock through to having a real ship afloat in the basin . the ugly duckling with all the parts at different levels of painting and surrounded by scaffolding transformed in the summer into a magnificent swan , unveiled to the world at the naming ceremony by the queen on the 4 th july . when i talk about what i do outside of work these days the response has changed from disbelief that the uk were still building aircraft carriers through to questions of when we will see these ships operating with their aircraft , and that day is coming ever nearer .
britain ' s biggest crane has passed under the forth bridges on its way to fife , where it will be used to build the navy ' s new aircraft carriers .
its passage up the firth of forth required precise timing so the vessel and its cargo could pass under the bridges at low tide .
it has a span of 120m to cover the construction area of the aircraft carriers and has the capacity to lift 1 , 000 tonnes .
sean donaldson of babcock said it was a
major landmark
in the carriers project .

the largest crane in the uk has been put up for sale after helping to build two new royal navy aircraft carriers .
it was brought to the uk from shanghai , china , in order to build the royal navy’s new aircraft carriers hms queen elizabeth and hms prince of wales .
it was so big that it only passed under the forth bridge with two metres to spare while being delivered to the shipyard .
the machine , costing £12 . 2m , took two years to build and has a span of 120 metres .
it also has the capacity to lift a weight of 1 , 000 tonnes .
the aircraft carrier alliance ( aca ) confirmed that the process to sell the crane is now underway .
two sponsons - large sections of the carrier - have yet to be fitted to the hms prince of wales .
the aca hope to have completed the sale in time for this process being carried out later this year .

the crane will now be fully erected to its full height on the ship deck over a six week period , before being transferred from ship to shore directly onto the crane rails . these were installed last year ( completed in february 2010 ) , involving a total of 380 piles through varying ground conditions into the underlying bedrock , followed by reinforced concrete foundation beams , and the rail track . it will take just over four months to erect , test and commission the crane , for final handover in the summer of 2011 , ensuring that the crane will be ready for its operational availability target of 1 september 2011 .
the crane ' s 1 , 000 tonne lifting capacity is provided by three hooks . the individual capacity of each provides a valuable degree of flexibility in lifting some awkward loads with difficult centres of gravity , and allows units or blocks to be turned over , up to a unit load of 500 tonnes . two of the hooks are suspended from an upper trolley ( each hook having a 300 tonne capacity ) and one from a central , lower , trolley with a 500 tonne capacity . while the three hooks have a greater cumulative lifting capacity than 1 , 000 tonnes , the total capacity is defined by the crane structure .
to undertake the direct entrance works , two massive cofferdams were constructed , one on the main basin side and one on the forth estuary side , to create a dry working space . this included sheet piling to bedrock , and placing large semi - circular steel box section beams and reinforced concrete beams constructed underwater and below seabed level . this was followed by a staged excavation to bedrock at a depth of 20 metres below sea level , on the north side where a new wall was constructed . construction of the foundation for this wall alone involved 5 , 750 tonnes of mass concrete placed in one continuous pour . the construction of the direct entrance has taken around 18 months , and involved around 110 workers . it followed successful completion of no . 1 dock where final assembly and integration of the carriers will take place .
but its passage up the forth , it arrived in fife after leaving its construction site in shanghai , china , on 17th december last year , required precision timing so it could pass under both forth bridges at low tide .
extra ballast was used so that the vessel would sit lower in the water , with only two metres between the very top of the crane and the forth bridge itself .
the £12 . 2 million crane , which will be used by babcock international , took two years to build and boasts a 120 metre span and the capacity to lift 1000 tonnes .

the uk’s largest crane arrived in scotland today ( thu ) following a 14 , 000 mile voyage from china .
at a height of 68 metres , the crane is taller than the wallace monument and will play a vital role in the assembly of the royal navy’s queen elizabeth class aircraft carriers at the babcock dockyard .
sean donaldson , babcock’s project director for the aircraft carriers’ construction , said : “this is a major landmark for babcock in the aircraft carriers project .
the crane cost around $ 20 million to construct and has a span of 120 metres to cover the construction area of the aircraft carriers .
it has the capacity to lift 1 , 000 tonnes and has been two years in construction by shanghai zhenhua port machinery ( zpmc ) .
“the crane is a vital element in the programme to build both the qe class aircraft carriers because the ships are being constructed in such huge sections , so we needed something capable of lifting up to 1 , 000 tonnes .
the crane is being delivered partially - erected , with the girder and upper sections of the legs already assembled .
it will take just over four months to erect , test and commission the crane , for final handover in the summer of 2011 , ensuring that the crane will be ready for its operational availability target of september 2011 .

preparations for the assembly of the queen elizabeth class aircraft carriers got under way , marking the official start of assembly of the first of two 65 , 000 tonne vessels – the largest warships ever built for the royal navy .
the first major lift in the programme is set to take place with the first section of the two deck high 8 , 000 tonne centre block , which includes a section of flight deck , being lifted on to the seven - deck high 8 , 000 tonne lower block 03 , queen elizabeth carrier .
mr luff said : “it is a huge privilege to witness what can only be described as history in the making . the job of building these truly formidable carriers is a huge challenge but we are very fortunate to have such a dedicated and skilled workforce who can rise to this challenge and provide the uk with its largest and most powerful aircraft carriers to date . ”
the vessels are being delivered by the aircraft carrier alliance ( aca ) made up of the mod , babcock , bae systems and thales and with advanced construction underway at six shipyards across the uk , the queen elizabeth class aircraft carrier programme is sustaining thousands of skilled jobs throughout industry .
chief of defence materiel , bernard gray , said : “the queen elizabeth class is a hugely important project for mod and for the uk’s shipbuilding industry . i’m very pleased at this impressive progress on the construction and assembly of first of class .
a queen elizabeth class carrier will be the centrepiece of britain’s military capability and will routinely operate 12 of the carrier variant joint strike fighter jets .
each carrier will have nine decks , plus a flight deck the size of three football pitches , and two propellers weighing 33 tonnes - nearly two - and - a - half times as heavy as a double decker bus - driving the ship at a maximum speed of over 25 knots .

in the early years of the 20th century , it was clear that war with germany was imminent , and that the north sea would be one of the combat arenas . britain began building a new kind of warship to counter the threat . the battleships were named ' dreadnoughts ' after the launch of hms dreadnought at portsmouth in 1906 — the sixth ship in the royal navy so named . a suitable base was needed on the east coast . however , the naval dockyard at chatham in kent was too shallow , and portsmouth and plymouth too distant .
in 1903 , the admiralty ( now part of the ministry of defence ) bought some 479ha of land and 115ha of foreshore from the first marquis of linlithgow , john hope ( 1860 - 1908 ) . its location on the north bank of the firth of forth provides easy access to the deeper waters of the estuary , leading to the north sea .
the original scheme consisted of a large deep - water basin entered via a lock , with two dry docks and provision for a third , plus an emergency entrance for use in case of damage to the lock . outside was a tidal basin for submarines and smaller craft . cranes , a power station , a pumping station , workshops , offices and storehouses were required . the dockyard site covers some 485ha , including 19ha of land reclaimed from salt marsh , and has 4km of waterfront .
the deep - water inner basin is 512m long and 457 . 2m wide and encloses water 11 . 8m deep . it has 2 . 2km of wharfage and an emergency exit 33 . 5m wide to the north of the entrance lock . there is a boat slip 61m long and 39 . 6m wide at its north west corner . the tidal outer basin to the east has three jetties where vessels can moor . it is 183m long and 143 . 3m wide and has a depth of 4 . 6m at low water spring tides .
the entrance lock crosses the site of dhu craig rocks at the south east of the inner basin — a channel had to be blasted through the dolerite rock . the arisings were used as aggregate in the mass concrete dock walls . the lock , which can also be used as a dock by sealing its ends with floating caissons , is 259m long and 33 . 5m wide at the entrances , with 11m of water over its sills at low water spring tides . an approach channel 320m wide for access to the lock was dredged to 11 . 6m below low water spring tides .
the first dry dock was built midway along the inner basin’s north wall . it was 228 . 7m long and 30 . 5m wide at its entrance , with 11m of water over its sill , and could be partitioned into two separate docks . in july 1910 it was decided that no . 1 dock would be enlarged to 259 . 1m long and 33 . 5m wide , and deepened by a further 600mm at the sill . a second dry dock of the same size was completed east of the first in 1914 , and a third followed in 1916 . the docks are founded on bedrock and have 7m thick concrete floors .
the contractor , easton gibb & son ltd , had two famous engineers among its staff — alexander gibb ( managing director , knighted in 1918 ) and guy maunsell , who was with the company until 1914 . they disagreed with the admiralty over its specified construction methods and proposed more practical alternatives . these were eventually accepted , though valuable time was lost .
in particular , the seawalls bounding the inner non - tidal basin were constructed by sinking 120 hollow concrete monoliths , generally 13 . 1m square and 27 . 4m high , through the soft sea bed sediments and onto the firm boulder clay beneath . the admiralty wanted these foundations constructed at sea , while gibb urged that a cofferdam would enable work to proceed in dry conditions . after three years , the seawalls were still not complete and the admiralty allowed the contractor to build a cofferdam .
when war broke out on 28th july 1914 , the dockyard was still under construction . warship repairs were carried out at berths in the outer basin . construction of the workshops began in 1915 and the fuel oil depot was built 1914 - 19 .
on 10th october 1915 , the entrance lock was tested as an emergency graving ( dry ) dock . during pumping out , a part of the concrete floor was dislodged by water coming through fissures in the bedrock . gibb had warned the admiralty that their floor design was too thin , and now a more substantial replacement had to be constructed . this was completed on 16th february 1916 .
though the dockyard complex was completed in seven years , it was not until 1922 that the contractor and the admiralty reached a final settlement of the contract price .
babcock international has managed the dockyard since april 1987 , and became its owner in 1997 after the government closed the naval base in 1995 .
a £40m upgrade of the nuclear submarine facilities in no . 2 and no . 3 docks , against potential earthquake damage , began in 1995 , with babtie group as engineers . the idea was to protect submarines using the complex from seismic loading caused by light to moderate earthquakes ( richter magnitude 5 or less ) . by november 1997 , work on the entrance lock was complete . the existing mass concrete walls were pinned to the dolerite bedrock with 1 , 200 rock anchors 16 . 5 - 30 . 5m long .
in 1999 , a £2 . 5m earthquake - proof submarine docking cradle was completed in no . 3 dock . the vessel rests on timber and steel blocks profiled to the hull . these sit on four concrete rafts 29m high , 9m long and 500mm deep , ‘floating’ on 120 rubber bearings . this arrangement keeps the submarine vertical at all times — vital when unloading fuel rods from a reactor core — preventing core meltdown and minimising the risk of a nuclear accident . the dock is sealed by a new 6 , 000 tonne floating concrete caisson , which replaces the old steel gate .

david is employed by bae systems , and is responsible for all the engineering work being carried out on the qe class programme . previously , he was design manager for hms ocean , albion and bulwark , and was chief engineer on the type 45 destroyer programme .
when we are embroiled in the day to day activities and the addressing of the problems that occur along the way it is all too easy to lose sight of the amazing achievements of the roughly 10 , 000 people working within the aircraft carrier alliance and the wider supply chain that has resulted in hms queen elizabeth being named and floated up on the dates that were set back in 2008 when the manufacturing phase contract was signed . this has been a huge team effort and i hope that everyone who has had any involvement in the project feel the same sense of pride as i do in what has been achieved .
since that time a lot more has occurred . in september the build dock was empty while the dock blocks were refurbished , by october lower blocks 2 and 3 of hms prince of wales were docked down , in november the two blocks were skidded together and now in december over 40 % of the hull of prince of wales is assembled in the dock including upper blocks and the first sponson blocks . preparation is underway to complete the painting of the forward tanks , an operation that occurred on queen elizabeth less than a year ago such is the learning that has been applied to the second ship .
preparations are underway for the embarkation of fuel early in the new year that will allow the ship’s diesel generators to be started and the ship to start to generate its own high voltage power , which will ultimately lead to the turning of the propeller shafts in mid - 2015 .
yes a great deal has been achieved through the year but there remains a great deal more to do in order to achieve our objective of first of class flying trials off the east coast of the united states in 2018 .
a great achievement and effort indeed . it’s just a pity that the idiots in the mod decide to have the carriers built in such away that they could only carry and operate vtol and vstol aircraft . but there again the mod and government have been wearing blinkers for the last 40years . nice to have the carruers back again though . just have to hope that the mod can buy more than 4 f35b’s a year , at that rate both carriers may just about have thei full complement at decommissioning time ! ! ! !
a great achievement indeed , i would have preferred cats and traps design flying british built aircraft but the last labour government had other ideas .
the orders for the f35b’s currently are part of the lrip – low rate initial production run . the uk has ordered 8 aircraft to date which is second only to the usa in terms of numbers . long lead items for another 9 aircraft are in place . then a major order will be placed as production ramps up . as for the comment about cats and traps the current tory led government said they were going to change to this design before deciding the original stovl plans were more suitable for uk needs . despite the usual scaremongering in the national non - specialist media the f35 will be built in the thousands and britain will share 15 % of each aircraft made as the only level one partner of the program .
actually , i missed the full implication of steve bell’s comment about ‘cats and traps’ - catapults and trapping systems to arrest incoming aircraft ? - on first reading .
it was my privilege to add to the technology of those systems : reducing weight whilst increasing the strength of structures . ba also produce the ‘long - stop’ system ( at the end of every raf runway ) there to ‘catch’ ( think spiders ) planes whose brakes and / or drogue - parachute have failed . these are needed perhaps only twice a year but save £millions ensuring un - damaged aircraft and crew ! i gather they are carried on carriers .
fellow bloggers might recall that the school i attended had a single entry requirement . that one’s father - a past member of a charitable organisation - was dead . that is except the parent of one friend : who’s father had been amongst the flight - deck crew on a wwii carrier : which suffered an arrestor cable break…which on recoil removed both his legs !
one of the modern ideas to absorb the substantial forces involved on carrier landings was to use the energy to complete the ‘draw’ of partially drawn ‘synthetic fibre’ webbings and braids . [ think pulling , in pubs / bbqs - come on we’ve all done it - of the plastic holders that retain the close location of six - packs of drinks ] this is believed to be a much more controlled adsorption of energy ( and putting less stress on the aircraft ) than wires , hooks and hydraulic oil ‘pots’ .
“long term prospects for the yard ? ” now that the administration , management and technology of the yard has been seen to be capable of manufacturing outstanding vessels…surely the swords to plowshares switch is a given , crane or not ! come to think of it , if the carriers are to be almost empty of aircraft for much of their life : and the planes they will carry are to take - off and land on a sixpence…why do we not simply use a container ship with appropriate modules for specific roles . heavens , civil engineers use ‘containers’ for their offices and oil - rigs use them for accommodation…so a score of these on a simple hull would surely suffice . indeed , unless i am mistaken , one of the reasons for the carriers and the associated military capability / trained personnel etc ( according to the pr blitzkrieg ) is to have a facility to deal with natural disasters . swords to plowshares yet again .

the crane base on the east side had been piled conventionally but on the west side , owing to the ground conditions , the need for raking piles , the close proximity to existing building and the need for good environmental controls , a different approach was needed . conventional rigs were incapable of installing the proposed design and minimise the environmental impact of the project .
bam ritchies researched and developed a suitable system using innovative simultaneous drilling and casing large diameter reverse circulation down - the - hole ( rcdth ) hammer equipment . it was the first application of its type in the uk of techniques for high capacity angled piles .
the original design for the west crane beam was a combination of vertical and raking 1050mm piles but the proximity of the buildings meant this was not possible using conventional large diameter piling rigs .
this resulted in bespoke drilling rigs with short mast lengths and an innovative tool handling system using simultaneous drilling techniques being used by bam ritchies .
another example of innovation was the use of bespoke access working platforms that were developed in - house using non - slip materials to allow safe access across a two metre wide and two metre deep pit during the drilling and installation of the piles .
the client has acknowledged the commendable innovative technical approach , strong willingness to develop alternative solutions and safe methods , and was pleased with the partnering approach that contributed towards the success of the project .
