HMS Invincible sets sail for US
HMS Invincible is due to leave Portsmouth on Thursday to begin exercises in the United States.

The vessel is joining a force of 18 ships sailing to the US following her recent �65m refit at Rosyth, Scotland.

New captain Neil Morisetti will lead the crew as they embark for Rapid Alliance - the largest deployment of Royal Navy vessels since Iraq.

The Invincible was launched on 3 May 1977 and served in the Falklands conflict in 1982.
