The Royal Navy’s flagship HMS Queen Elizabeth has set sail from Portsmouth naval base after a quick turnaround of only three days.
The 65,000-tonne aircraft carrier headed back out to sea having only returned home on Friday following a 10-day period of training with the Royal Air Force and personnel from Britannia Royal Naval College.
HMS Queen Elizabeth will now be taking part in routine training and for some defence engagement before her expected return before Christmas.

BFBS Forces News live-streamed on YouTube the departure of the aircraft carrier, which you can watch back in full below.
HMS Queen Elizabeth recently completed routine training and sea trials which saw her crew take on different roles, work with Chinook helicopters and host visitors from BRNC Dartmouth.
She also worked closely with the Type 23 frigate HMS St Albans during her Fleet Operation Sea Training.
During her time at sea, she also worked with the Chinooks from the RAF’s 7 Squadron, which gave members of the lower deck crew the chance to work on flight operations.
