We are now safely in dry dock in Rosyth, Scotland, as we begin the planned work that will ensure HMS Queen Elizabeth is ready for decades of further service to the UK. In the meantime, make sure you follow @HMSPWLS as their CSG deployment continues! ๐ธ WO1 Jones-Price

HMS Queen Elizabeth was proud to contribute a number of sailors to the Royal Navy Guard on parade at the Cenotaph in London. They have been training extremely hard and they were a credit to our ship, the RN and the UK. #LestWeForget

24 of our sailors tested their mettle high above the Wiltshire countryside this week by completing their first ever parachute jumps! Through Adventurous Training, our sailors are developing their skills and resilience whilst challenging themselves and having fun!

HMS Queen Elizabethโs recent incline trial at Rosyth was a great example of teamwork. With every movement based on deep skill and experience to tip the ship at precise intervals, the trial is essential for safety assurance. Watch the video of the trial in full swing.

Sheโs back! Thanks to some skilful manoeuvring, HMS Queen Elizabeth has returned to Rosyth. This marks another major milestone in our 10 year dry-dock maintenance programme for the Royal Navyโs Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers.

A different perspective as we come alongside! It is a tight fit to get into Rosyth, with only a few centimetres of clearance on either side. To make sure we know everything is going well, one of our navigation team is lowered down in a cherry picker to keep an eye on things.

A beautiful evening to sail past our affiliated city of Edinburgh. Hundreds of our sailors came onto the flight deck to witness the transit under the iconic Forth Bridges. ๐ทWO1 Jones-Price

Back to basics. Our GPMG teams keep their skills sharp with a gunnery serial at sea, using the famous 'killer tomato' as their target.

It might not be the conventional start time (plus the maritime location is unusual) but our flight deck park runners are ready to go! It's always important to take time for exercise and relaxation, even when we are busy at sea. #loveparkrun

You may notice a change in style of photography on our account! Our new EWO, WO1 Jones-Price, is a legend behind the lens and hopefully he will be sharing some of his work with all of you over his time with QNLZ.

The faces of HMS Queen Elizabeth. Yesterday we took our ship to sea for the first time in 2025. This is always a complex undertaking but we're glad to be back where we belong.
