THE QUEEN ARRIVES AT THE PLYMOUTH BREAKWATER

The £3.2bn carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth was spotted outside the Plymouth breakwater this morning at anchor on our live webcams. The huge carrier is set for a busy period of sea trials and NATO exercises coming up.

The 65,000 tonne carrier recently completed her second planned docking period at the Rosyth dry dock in Scotland, and will go back into another planned maintenance period in June.
