Spectacular footage showing the HMS Prince of Wales travelling underneath the Forth Road Bridge has been shared online.
The footage, which was shared by BEAR Scotland, shows the monster aircraft carrier being tugged along the Firth of Forth. The highest element of The Prince of Wales looks to have been lowered so that it could pass underneath the Bridge at South Queensferry.
The 65,000 tonne ship had to travel north of the border for repairs after a specialist team of divers noticed that something was amiss. It was discovered that the battleship’s right propeller shaft was damaged just before it was set to travel across the Atlantic for joint military exercises with the United States Marine Corps and the Royal Canadian Navy.
