The 65,000-tonne warship is returning to the Rosyth dockyard where it was assembled in order for an issue with its starboard propeller coupling to be rectified.
The HMS Queen Elizabeth has been pictured on the Firth of Forth ahead of a period of repair work being carried out.
At short notice, its sister aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales was called in to form the heart of a carrier strike group in the exercise, with helicopters and F-35 fighter jets on board. The Earl of Minto, a defence minister of state, has said the issue on the carrier is not thought to be as serious as the propeller shaft defect which led to nine months of drydock work on Prince of Wales.
