More than 60 Royal Navy and Royal Marine personnel have been onboard USS George HW Bush coordinating a giant NATO maritime exercise off the coast of Scotland.
The UK team have been working with their US counterparts to hone their skills ahead of taking command of the Royal Navy's new aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth, which could be arriving in Portsmouth in ten days time.
The war games, called Exercise Saxon Warrior, have seen the Commander of the UK Carrier Strike Group Commodore Andrew Betton and his team direct jets, firepower and personnel across the task group for the last ten days to ensure full readiness for the UK’s own carrier strike capability.
