HMS Queen Elizabeth will be leaving the city and heading to Scotland to undergo repairs on her starboard propeller.

Originally, HMS QE was due to leave Portsmouth on February 4 but during last minute checks, a fault with her starboard propeller shaft coupling was found and she was forced to sacrifice her place in Exercise Steadfast Defender and HMS Prince of Wales took her place instead.

As a result of the fault, she will need to be repaired at the same place she was built in Scotland.
