The UK’s second HMS Queen Elizabeth-class aicraft carrier, HMS Prince of Wales, is preparing for sea trials. The warship was put to sea for the first time from its assembly site at Rosyth Dockyard in Fife on 19 September.
The aircraft carrier is set to conduct sea trials off the coast of North East Scotland upon departing Rosyth before arriving at her home port of Portsmouth later this year. After this, the 65,000-tonne carrier will be handed over to the British Royal Navy.
