Aircraft carrier due back in Portsmouth
HMS Prince of Wales broke down last summer
Last updated 4th Aug 2023
One of Britain's biggest warships, which has spent nearly a year undergoing repairs, is due back in Portsmouth this afternoon (Friday 4 August).
Aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales suffered a broken propeller shaft after it sailed from the naval base last August for a diplomatic mission to the US.
The ÂŁ3bn warship came to a halt off the Isle of Wight and had to be towed into harbour.
Extensive repairs and improvements have been carried out in Scotland.
She moved out of dry dock in Rosyth last month before setting sail for the south coast.
According to shipping movements on the Royal Navy website, the carrier is from 1.40pm.
