Watch: HMS Queen Elizabeth sails through fjords into Oslo in timelapse footage

Royal Navy flagship HMS Queen Elizabeth has arrived in Oslo, her first-ever first to the Norwegian capital. 

The aircraft carrier is currently deployed to lead a Carrier Strike Group in northern Europe alongside allies.

HMS Queen Elizabeth has been taking part in Operation Achillean which included warships, helicopters, and F-35B Lightning fighter jets.

This mission falls under the banner of the Joint Expeditionary Force – a 10-nation military alliance committed to maintaining the security of northern Europe.

HMS Queen Elizabeth recently returned to Portsmouth from New York where she stood in for the stricken HMS Prince of Wales which broke down off the coast of the Isle of Wight.
