HMS Queen Elizabeth on Clyde (Image: Newsquest)
The HMS Queen Elizabeth was pictured passing Largs this morning.
She is the lead ship of the Queen Elizabeth class of aircraft carriers and the Fleet Flagship of the Royal Navy.
Capable of carrying 60 aircraft including fixed wing, rotary wing and autonomous vehicles, she is named in honour of the first HMS Queen Elizabeth, a World War I era super-dreadnought, which in turn was named after Queen Elizabeth I.
The carrier Queen Elizabeth carries her namesake ship's honours, as well as her Tudor rose-adorned crest and motto.
