Sister Ship to 
Why is a new ship covered in scaffolding??
Apparently @RollsRoyce don’t just do gas turbines for ships - they also make cars! 75 members of our affiliated organisation, the Rolls-Royce and Bentley Enthusiasts’ Club (RREC), lined our jetty with the old and came on board for a look at the new.pic.twitter.com/p8833vi5SX

This is part of our ‘first of class’ generation process. We’re in a Capability Insertion Period (CIP). After each set of trials (power & propulsion, mission systems, rotary wing flying) additional kit needed for the next batch is added. Next up is fast jet flying trials.

Except for the fact that the aerospace Rolls Royce that produce the mt 30 gas turbines is a completely different (german owned) company that manufactures the cars.

True. Rolls Royce owns the name and licences it to the car company.
