These pictures show the largest Royal Navy ship ever built sailing past Wales. The HMS Queen Elizabeth was in the waters off Anglesey on Thursday, when it had a sea rendezvous with aircraft from RAF Valley.
The £3.1 billion aircraft carrier was built alongside the HMS Prince of Wales in a project costing more than £6 billion, and they are the Royal Navy's first aircraft carriers to be built since HMS Ark Royal was scrapped in 2010. The ship weighs 65,000 tonnes and has a flight deck four acres long, which is enough space for nearly three football pitches. It's expected to be in service for the next 50 years after becoming fully operational in 2021, North Wales Live reports.
