Iconic carrier section meets the rest of ship

ARRIVAL The 700-tonne bridge of HMS Queen Elizabeth passes under the Forth Bridge en-route to Babcocks Rosyth Dockyard

IT IS the most iconic part of the giant jigsaw puzzle that will make up one of the Royal Navy’s new aircraft carriers.
Now the forward island of HMS Queen Elizabeth has arrived in Scotland after it set off on a barge from Portsmouth last week.
The 700-tonne section is the final part of the mighty new warship to have been built in Portsmouth.
The carrier is being pieced together at a shipyard in Rosyth.
