Six Royal Navy sailors have been arrested for drunk and disorderly behaviour in the US after the first transatlantic voyage of Britain’s £3 billion aircraft carrier.

Two of the sailors from HMS Queen Elizabeth were tasered by Florida police while witnesses reported seeing sailors urinating from a pub balcony into the street.

According to local police reports, three of the six sailors resisted arrest. A seventh member of the aircraft carrier’s crew was taken into custody for trespass.

The 65,000-ton ship, nicknamed Big Lizzie, began her maiden transatlantic voyage last month and docked at Mayport naval base on Wednesday.
