For A Moment I Thought They Had No Potties In Buckingham Palace

For A Moment I Thought They Had No Potties In Buckingham Palace
Didn't quite catch the beginning of this story:


Quote:Queen Elizabeth, is leaking because of a faulty seal.

I figured, WTF she's as old as dirt....it's to be expected.  But then I realized it is about the aircraft carrier which is brand new.

Yeah, ships and boats leak. All manner of things can go wrong. IIRC, the 'maiden' voyage of the WWII Japanese battle ship Shinano was marred by a bad bearing on one of the propeller shafts. It limited it's top speed to just barely less than a US submarine which chased her for and eventually put some torpedoes in her.

Her Majesty's navy might want to fix the leak . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Yeah, I was assigned a duty on the aircraft carrier I was on to watch for leaks on one of the prop shafts where they went from the people part to the sea part. The seals are loosened for use while underway, and then tightened when in port so that the ship doesn't get flooded while not under way. I had a special badge that let me go by the Marines, who were in charge of guarding the nukes, which were not aboard. Sleepy

And here I was thinking it could be fixed with a box of Royal Depends.

There's a reason the RN is called the Senior Sevice, you know.

So sad that Britain should be saddled with 2 such unaffordable and unconvincing ostentations of global power just as her true global influence falls through any previously imaginable nadir with the self inflicted brexit.
