When fully armed, the ship will carry at least 40 aircraft and be crewed by 1,000 sailors.
Known as Big Liz, the ship cost £3.1 billion and is first in a new class of state-of-the-art warships for Britain.

The warship is bristling with 30mm cannons and a number of miniguns to fend off enemies.
She also has Phalanx launchers designed to blast away any anti-ship missiles.
New fighter jets the F-35B Lightning II will be packed onto the ship, along with a host of chopper including Chinooks and Apaches.
