HMS Queen Elizabeth and its twin, the HMS Prince of Wales, will be three times bigger than UK's previous carriers
Six shipyards around the UK have been involved in building the massive 65,000-ton HMS Queen Elizabeth
Work is continuing on the estimated £6.2billion project which is currently based at Rosyth Docks in Scotland
These pictures show British shipwrights hard at work on the next generation of Britain's Royal Navy flagships.
When they are finally finished, the massive 65,000-ton HMS Queen Elizabeth and its twin, the HMS Prince of Wales, will be the centrepieces of Britain's naval warfare capability.
At around 920ft long - equivalent to 28 London buses parked end-to-end - the aircraft carriers are the largest warships ever built for the Royal Navy. They will be about three times bigger than the UK's previous carriers.
