Hms Queen Elizabeth Leaves Portsmouth for Helicopter Trials
HMS Queen Elizabeth (accompanied by her support craft), sailing from her home in Portsmouth for the first time since being officially commissioned into the Royal Navy in December.
The 65, 000-tonne future flagship will spend the next month conducting further sea trials, which will include testing with rotary wing aircraft, learning about their behaviour flying to and from the ship in a range of conditions.
Commanding Officer of HMS Queen Elizabeth, Captain Jerry Kyd, said: After the excitement of our commissioning ceremony in December, my ships company and our industry partners are looking forward to taking the ship to sea to conduct First of Class Rotary Wing Flying Trials.
The Queen Elizabeth Class Carriers are the biggest warships ever built for the Royal Navy - four acres of sovereign territory, deployable across the globe to serve the United Kingdom on operations for 50 years.
HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales will be the most advanced warships in the Royal Navy fleet.
They are the future flagships of the nation. Initially the ships will carry helicopters. The vast flight deck and hangar can accommodate any helicopter in Britains military inventory.
From 2020, however, our punch will be delivered by the F35 Lightning II, the worlds most advanced stealth fighter-bomber
The British Army protects the United Kingdom's interests at home and abroad, providing a safe and secure environment in which all British citizens can live and prosper

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the majestic sight of HMS Queen Elizabeth leaving Portsmouth for helicopter trials, marking her first voyage since being commissioned into the Royal Navy. Accompanied by her support craft, this 65,000-tonne future flagship will spend the next month conducting extensive sea trials, including testing with rotary wing aircraft in various conditions. Captain Jerry Kyd, Commanding Officer of HMS Queen Elizabeth, expressed his excitement about these First of Class Rotary Wing Flying Trials after the ship's commissioning ceremony in December. The Queen Elizabeth Class Carriers are not only the largest warships ever built for the Royal Navy but also represent four acres of sovereign territory that can be deployed worldwide to serve and protect the United Kingdom for half a century. HMS Queen Elizabeth and its sister ship HMS Prince of Wales will become the most advanced warships in the Royal Navy fleet. While initially designed to carry helicopters, their vast flight deck and hangar have been engineered to accommodate any helicopter from Britain's military inventory. However, starting from 2020, these impressive vessels will unleash their true power with F35 Lightning II stealth fighter-bombers—the world's most advanced aircraft. This print symbolizes a significant milestone on Britain's naval journey as it prepares its future flagships to defend national interests at home and abroad.
