Fly Around the Super Carrier Queen Elizabeth On Sea Trials

Seven hundred sailors put Queen Elizabeth's basic systems under test as 200 of the engineers who helped build her check that everything is working as expected. 

The 65 thousand tonne aircraft carrier is the Navy's biggest vessel. She's being shadowed by frigates HMS Sutherland and HMS Iron Duke to keep away any unwanted attention.

It'll be another three years before the vessel becomes fully operational with a fleet of Lightning 2 short-take-off, vertical-landing jets, and Merlin helicopters providing aerial defence radars and anti-submarine capability.
