HMS Queen Elizabeth in Rosyth Dockyard
The Royal Navys largest ever warship HMS Queen Elizabeth is gently floated out of her dock for the first time in Rosyth, Scotland in July 2014.
In an operation that started earlier that week, the dry dock in Rosyth near Edinburgh was flooded for the first time to allow the 65, 000 tonne aircraft carrier to float. It then took only three hours this morning to carefully manoeuvre HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH out of the dock with just two metres clearance at either side and then berth her alongside a nearby jetty.
Teams will now continue to outfit the ship and steadily bring her systems to life in preparation for sea trials in 2016. The dock she vacates will be used for final assembly of her sister ship, HMS PRINCE OF WALES, which will begin in September

EDITORS COMMENTS
The majestic HMS Queen Elizabeth, the Royal Navy's largest ever warship, is captured in this breathtaking print as she gracefully emerges from Rosyth Dockyard in Scotland. In a meticulously planned operation, the dry dock was flooded for the first time to allow this 65,000-tonne aircraft carrier to float freely. With just two meters of clearance on either side, it took a mere three hours to skillfully maneuver her out of the dock and berth her alongside a nearby jetty. This historic moment marks an important milestone in the ship's journey towards becoming fully operational. As teams continue to outfit and activate her systems, preparations are underway for sea trials scheduled for 2016. The significance of this event extends beyond HMS Queen Elizabeth alone; once vacated by her departure, the dock will be utilized for assembling her sister ship, HMS Prince of Wales. The sheer size and power exuded by this magnificent vessel are awe-inspiring. This print serves as a testament not only to the engineering marvel that is HMS Queen Elizabeth but also to the dedication and expertise of those involved in its construction. It symbolizes Britain's commitment to maintaining a strong naval presence and showcases our nation's technological prowess on an international stage. Captured by HMS Gannet from Armed Forces with utmost precision and artistry, this image immortalizes one of history's most significant moments in naval warfare – when dreams take shape into reality upon vast oceans.
