The UK's new aircraft carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth, has returned from sea trials early after a leak was found.
The Royal Navy's future flagship left Portsmouth Naval Base last month for five weeks of sea trials and training. A Ministry of Defence spokeswoman described the leak as "a minor issue with an internal system" on Britain's biggest and most powerful warship. The £3.1 billion ship returned to Portsmouth as a precautionary measure after the leak was found on Tuesday.
The water was pumped out and the 900ft (280m) long warship returned to port. The MoD said: "An investigation into the cause is under way."
This latest problem follows a number of other issues including
a shaft seal leak, which caused water to pour into the ship, and the accidental trigger of the sprinklers in the hangar.
