"A second state of the art UK aircraft carrier has delayed its departure to the largest Nato exercise in Europe since the cold war, a week after its sister ship cancelled its deployment due to a problem with its propeller."

The Ministry of Defence confirmed that the ship had been held back, but did not provide a reason for the decision."
