the ship sucks - it has no sails.I miss the romantic imagery of the Age of Sail as well, but I do believe that Admiral Lord Nelson would be quite proud, knowing that Great Britain will be so very well protected by such a fine ship and a fine Navy. And my guess is that the Royal Navy's sailors don't need to tap their biscuits on the table to knock the weevils out anymore :-)

They may not have to tap their biscuits any more ...
but they’ll still, on occasion, have to choose the lesser of two weevils.
