The Royal Navy’s biggest and most powerful warship has been spotted off the Welsh coast this week. HMS Queen Elizabeth, the Navy’s flagship aircraft carrier, is currently conducting trials and drills in the Irish Sea.
The trials come ahead of the fact that this summer the mighty vessel will be deployed to the Mediterranean in a show of naval strength in the face of Russian aggression, reports North Wales Live. The £3.1bn ship is currently in the Irish Sea. On Monday, May 22, she cruised north past Holyhead and, by the evening, online trackers showed the ship heading in a northwest direction.
Not difficult to disguise, many people spotted the vessel, including Anthony Ward, who works for Irish Ferries. His pictures show the warship sailing past the iconic South Stack lighthouse.
