HMS Prince Of Wales In Gibraltar For First Overseas Visit
HMS Prince of Wales has arrived in Gibraltar for her first port visit outside the United Kingdom.
The Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier is there as part of a programmed logistics visit as she continues training and sea trials.
The 65,000-tonne Royal Navy vessel has been undergoing different simulations to prepare for active deployment and will move on to Carrier Sea Training later this year.

It's been a fair few years since the name @HMSPWLS has graced your shores.
We are looking forward to it. ??#PWLSatSea#TheRockpic.twitter.com/OGaDuPeFyh
Last month the aircraft carrier trained with three British Army Apaches developing their take-off and landing capabilities.
The training marked the first time an Apache and an F-35 have operated from the same flight deck.
