The United Kingdom Carrier Strike Group 21 (CSG21) was a British-led naval force that was deployed on Operation Fortis[1] from May to December 2021. The Carrier Strike Group is seen as the beginning of the British Government's tilt towards the Indo-Pacific region in terms of defence and foreign policy,[2] that had been announced in March through the Integrated Review.[3] It was the first strike group deployment for the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers, and the first operational deployment of the UK Carrier Strike Group since 2011. The deployment was the largest single deployment of F-35 fighter aircraft since the programme started in 2006,[4] and the largest fifth-generation fighter carrier air wing in the world at the time.[5] Furthermore, HMS Queen Elizabeth saw the largest number of personnel embarked since she entered service,[6] and the group contained the largest number of Royal Navy maritime helicopters deployed in over 10 years.[7]
