HMS Queen Elizabeth arrives in Portsmouth

The largest warship ever built for the Royal Navy has arrived at its new home in Portsmouth this morning.

The aircraft carrier called HMS Queen Elizabeth, cost three billion pounds to make and weighs 65,000 tonnes.

It set sail from Rosyth dockyard in Fife, where it was built, and has been carrying out sea trials since June.
