A warship which nearly sank after hitting rocks off Australia has returned to sea after £39m repair works.
HMS Nottingham's commanding officers were court martialled last year for negligence after the bottom of the ship was ripped out in the collision.
The type 42 destroyer was accompanied by a flotilla of small boats for Saturday's sea trials off Portsmouth.
It is expected the ship will return to active service in July.
