Reminds me of a Monty Python sketch where a bunch of old ladies are manning submarines of the Royal Navy.
“Mrs. Nesbitt’s got one of her head aches again so I put her in the torpedo tube!’’.
“Right then. Fire Mrs. Nesbitt!’’.

Brittania ruled the waves for hundreds of years with inbred monarchs.

Say what? The Brits named a ship after Thin Lizzie? Or was it Fat Lizzo?

And the political mob-like factions that parliamentary systems evolve toward. The “national pie(i.e., the economy)” gets divided up so many different ways to buy off constituent factions to little is left for actual government functions like national defense.

......hmmmm “coupling” ???
If that is what I think it is, a complete repair could take a year or more. They (news article writer) said “propeller”. I don’t think a “propeller” has a coupling. But, the shaft leading to the propeller from the engine could have a “coupling’. Said “coupling” couples two sections of drive shaft together. Since these drive shafts can be 2’ thick and 100’ plus long, repairing them is no small task.
Now, I could be wrong, but I can’t figure out how a “propeller” has a “coupling”.

It turns out that if you shut down the western economy for a couple of years and your countries make nothing, you just might run into problem finding parts for things even several years after that catastrophic policy is over.
But hey, if they need masks or ventilators I hear they are available at deep discounts now.

I think they eliminated the lash. But they’re still good with rum and sodomy.

Don’t forget, the HMS Diamond has no missiles to hit Yemen.
Clown World.
Brits should stick to timepiece dramas where blacks are in equal position for some reason…
