The flagship of the British Royal Navy, the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth, burned in the port of Glenmallan in Scotland. This was reported yesterday by the UK Defense Journal.

“There were no casualties, the ship suffered minor damage from the fire, but it’s all over,” said a source on board the aircraft carrier.

It stated that “a small, isolated fire on HMS Queen Elizabeth was quickly brought under control and extinguished.”

It is understood that the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth is heading to a shipyard in Rosyth, Scotland, for repairs. It will be placed in dry dock, where it is planned to replace its starboard shaft coupling.

En route, the aircraft carrier stopped at Glenmallan, where naval depots were located, to unload ammunition.

This is not the first incident aboard HMS Queen Elizabeth. It turned out that the new ship had already started leaking.

There were also problems aboard the sister aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales.


HMS Queen Elizabeth is the largest aircraft carrier in the history of the British Navy. Its deck area is equal to three football fields. The aircraft carrier can reach a speed of 25 knots (45 km/h), its displacement is 65 thousand tons, the length of the flight deck is 280 m, and the width is 70 m. The aircraft carrier first went to sea in June 2017.
