Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The bulbous bow section of the Royal Navy's largest ever aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth, is transported up the River Forth enroute to Rosyth dockyard.

A hugely significant milestone was reached as the two modules that make up the first block of HMS Queen Elizabeth, the first of the new Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers sailed into Scotland and under the iconic Forth Bridges following it’s journey from Babcock’s ship yard in Appledore, north Devon.

The completion of the two modules; the bulbous bow, which is similar in size to the front of a submarine and the upper bow section will collectively weigh around 400 tonnes, which is equivalent to almost 40 double decker buses and when positioned end to end will reach over 50 metres in length.

The ships will be constructed at six ship yards around the UK and each block will be transported to Rosyth for final assembly in the Number One Dock, which is the largest dry dock in the UK. Work is already underway at ship yards in Devon, Glasgow, Portsmouth, Rosyth and Tyneside, with Merseyside starting work on the Queen Elizabeth this summer.
