Firth of Forth to host Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales

One of the UK’s most deadly warships is to be docked in the Firth of Forth as it goes to the Rosyth dry dock for repairs.

The Royal Navy warship HMS Prince of Wales was planning on travelling across the Atlantic to the US for joint battle exercises with the United States Marine Corps and the Royal Canadian Navy after the aircraft carrier's right propeller shaft was found to be damaged.

The second of the Queen Elizabeth class was recently forced to stay in Portsmouth with its sister ship, the HMS Queen Elizabeth. It is understood the flagship of the Royal Navy will take the place of the broken warship in the USA.
