The Royal Navy ships HMS Illustrious (photo), an aircraft carrier, and Manchester, a destroyer, have been docked on opposite sides of Pier 7, near the foot of Atlantic Avenue, this weekend. The ships were previously docked in Manhattan, but moved to Brooklyn on Friday. Tomorrow they will complete their six day goodwill visit to New York, departing for Norfolk, Virginia, where they will stay five days before participating in a naval exercise with U.S. Navy and other NATO vessels.
