HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier returns to Fife dockyard
Aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth has returned to a Fife dockyard for repairs.
The 65000 tonne warship passed under the Forth bridges last Thursday morning as it made its way back to the Rosyth dockyard where it was built.
In February the aircraft carrier had been due to take part in Steadfast Defender – a Nato military exercise – but had to withdraw after a problem was discovered with its starboard propeller coupling.
It is this issue that is to be rectified while in Rosyth.
