Royal Navy going to shit...

RE: Royal Navy going to shit...
Without this repair ship, what will happen when one of the British ships out at sea needs a jump start?
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

They get out and push.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Quote:The Royal Navy's fleet of warships is "at a dangerous and historic low" leaving the new aircraft carriers at risk of being unprotected.

The assessment by the Defence Select Committee will endorse widespread concerns that the Royal Navy has been left too small after recent job and spending cuts.

The committee's report, called Restoring The Fleet, said the current number of vessels is "woefully low" and raised doubts over the availability of skilled workers in the service.

From what I've read, the QE and the PoW will be platooned, one at sea, the other undergoing refit, because of the paucity of escort vessels.

Rather relegates them to prestige weapons, capable as they might be on paper. Capital ships are escorted for a reason.

Royal Navy warships 'kept beyond sell-by date'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38138874

Quote:Royal Navy ships are being kept in service "well beyond their sell-by-date", an independent report has said.
Sir John Parker said new ships were also being ordered too late, creating a "vicious cycle" which was depleting the fleet and wasting taxpayers' money.

He said Navy contracts should be shared among companies across the UK to cut build time and spread prosperity.

The defence secretary said that approach had already proved successful in building new aircraft carriers.

Sir John's warnings echo those of the Commons defence select committee last week, which warned that Britain's defences were at risk amid uncertainty over plans to replace the "woefully low" number of warships.

Sir John, chairman of mining giant Anglo American, was tasked with examining how the British naval shipbuilding industry could be made sustainable while increasing exports.

Quote:The most expensive destroyer ever built for the US navy has suffered an engineering problem in the Panama Canal and had to be towed to port.

US Third Fleet spokesman commander Ryan Perry said a vice-admiral directed the USS Zumwalt to remain at ex-Naval Station Rodman in Panama to address the issues, which arose on Monday.

The ship was built at Bath Iron Works in Maine and was on its way to San Diego.

“The schedule for the ship will remain flexible to enable testing and evaluation in order to ensure the ship’s safe transit to her new home port in San Diego,” Perry said in a statement.

USNI News, a publication of the US Naval Institute, reported on its website that the ship was in the canal when it lost propulsion.

Crew also saw water getting into bearings that connect electrical motors to driveshafts, the website reported.

The US does not have a very good history with o-rings and seals. 

Boom?
