I've said it before: thanks to various things, the management class of the UK cannot manage a piss-up in a brewery. We are completely fucked and bereft of the sort of intelligent manager that can do engineering.
The HS2 debacle is one classic example of our abject failure to manage large projects. The Horizon computer system involved in the Post Office scandal is another alongside the lying and deceitful managers at the post office.
The country is fucked, especially if that same mindset catches hold in the militar.... oh, shit, it has.
The second of our flag ships, the HMS Price of Wales suffered a catastrophic failure of it's propulsion system a while ago. It took several months to rectify.
It's sister ship, the HMS Queen Elizabeth was checked at the time and it was reported that the same issue wasn't present on that ship.
That was then, this is now: It's been reported that just before sailing, the HMS Queen Elizabeth has suffered a failure of it's propulsion system.
The aircraft carrier will be replaced by four plastic patrol craft, each with five crew aboard.
I'm sorry about the state of our Navy, I really am. I remember Plymouth Navy days back when I was a kid, walking from ship to ship and still not seeing the whole fleet in dock. Now I could quite easily walk round the whole Navy in the same time.
