HMS Prince of Wales: Delayed carrier leaves Portsmouth

Aerial footage shows HMS Prince of Wales leave Portsmouth a day late after postponing its scheduled departure at the last minute.

The Royal Navy carrier, which was due to sail on Sunday, is replacing HMS Queen Elizabeth on a Nato exercise after it broke down a week earlier.

Retired Rear iral Chris Parry said the fleet's carriers were getting a "reputation for not being reliable".

He said he suspected there had been delays in getting the vessel's systems and equipment ready after maintenance.
