As of last year PoW was scheduled to carry out DT3 trials whilst QE was in dry dock, but as I said plans are always subject to change. At the time PoW was due for completion by the summer, as was QE's dry docking period. With PoW slipping to the Autumn, they seem to have decided to swap QE back to DT3 host ship and pull her drydocking forward a few months. We shall see.
