Royal Navy's biggest-ever warship that sends 'defiant message' spotted off British coast

The Royal Navy's biggest warship has been spotted off the south coast of England. Aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth - built to send a message of "defiance to those who would do us harm" - is supported by around 3,700 personnel when operating at full capacity.

The ship was seen off the Plymouth Sound in Devon. It is currently on a seven-month deployment, The Express reports.

HMS Queen Elizabeth is the Fleet Flagship of the Navy, a status it inherited from HMS Ocean, previously the force's most prestigious vessel. It is able to carry as many as 40 aircraft.
