Aircraft Carrier Alliance var ett brittiskt samriskföretag inom försvarsindustrin med syftet att bygga hangarfartygsklassen Queen Elizabeth, som består av två hangarfartyg (HMS Queen Elizabeth och HMS Prince of Wales). De aktörer som var involverade i samriskföretaget förutom Storbritanniens försvarsministerium var brittiska BAE Systems och Babcock International samt det franska Thales Group.[4]
Hela projektet kostade totalt omkring 6,2 miljarder brittiska pund[3], vilket var tre miljarder pund mer än vad originalbudgeten var på[5], och sysselsatte fler än 10 000 anställda[2].
Historik
Samriskföretaget har sitt ursprung från 1997 när Storbritanniens försvarsministerium övervägde att bygga nya hangarfartyg till Storbritanniens flotta. Två år senare utsåg försvarsministeriet BAE Systems och Thomson-CSF (idag Thales Group) om att ta fram hangarfartygsprototyper. År 2003 meddelade försvarsministeriet oväntat att Thales prototyp hade valts för att den var mer innovativ och tekniskt utvecklat än BAE:s prototyp. Senare fick Thales prototyp skalas dock ner rätt kraftigt på grund av kostnadsskäl.[6] Samma år bildades det en allians mellan de tre nämnda i syfte att bygga hangarfartygen. År 2005 anslöt sig även Babcock och amerikanska VT Group vilket gjorde att alliansen blev ett samriskföretag. Bara tre år senare lämnade VT Group samriskföretaget efter att VT Group hade sålt sitt dotterbolag VT Shipbuilding, som höll på med skeppsvarvsverksamhet, till BAE Systems samt ett annat dotterbolag, som höll på med stöd- och träningstjänster för skeppsvarv, till Babcock.[7]
Aircraft Carrier Alliance lades ner efter att projektet avslutades[8] när det andra hangarfartyget blev klart och togs i tjänst 2019.

HMS Prince of Wales (R09) depart Forth for initial sea trials - 19.jpg
Författare/Upphovsman: Alex Ceolin, Licens: OGL v1.0
Britains newest aircraft carrier, Prince of Wales, has sailed from Rosyth Dockyard for the very first time. Eight years after her steel was cut, the 65000 tonne warship will head under the iconic Forth Bridges later this week to begin her initial sea trials. The Prince of Wales is only the second ship in the world after HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH to be built from the hull upwards specifically to operate the fifth generation F35B Lightning II Joint Strike fighter jet. She has emerged from build two years after her sister ship HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH, which is currently transiting the Atlantic ahead of the operational trials to be conducted with UK F-35Bs in the USA. Defence Minister Anne-Marie Trevelyan said "Prince of Wales departure from Rosyth is a landmark moment for the carrier programme. As the ship takes the next step to becoming fully operational, she carries with her the story of Britain's maritime might. This tremendous achievement is a testament to the talent of British industry and I look forward to the moment we can welcome her into the Royal Navy family."
