At least they still have Rum, Sodomy and the Lash.
They got rid of the rum ration in 1970 and the lash was last used 90 years earlier, so that just leaves...

They couldn't get from England to Norway? I thought that was like going to Wisconsin. Or Czechoslovakia.

Well, one out of three, anyway.

By now, the probability has increased, that the prop shaft, the “coupling,” and the prop, are not the only surprises.
For BOTH aircraft carriers.

“Putin and Xi laughing.”
At what? Putin’s sole aircraft carrier is a rusting hulk alongside in Murmansk and after two serious fires it’s unlikely to ever sail again.
China’s aircraft carriers can’t sustain operations, they haven’t figured out arresting gear, and their drive systems are so bad one of their carriers will likely be scrapped.
The UK might have two difficult carriers but those two carriers have logged more time underway than all Chinese and Russian carriers have logged in this decade.

Maybe they can sell to the Chinese for use as a floating casino.
Used carrier only driven to church on Sundays by a little old lady.

This may be a blown up version of a Snake Oil Salesman.
Imagine Mr. Haney on TV show Green Acres talking gentleman farmer Oliver into buying some ridiculous berry picking machine, one that doesn’t work and makes things worse.

undoubtedly some inbreeding amongs the dei bunch.

If it’s a broken tail shaft, they can cancel everything for a year.

> Now, I could be wrong, but I can’t figure out how a “propeller” has a “coupling”.
Perhaps they were referring to the sailors?

“At least they still have Rum, Sodomy and the Lash.”
Unlike Ruzzia which has vodka, sodomy, hazing, and no carriers to speak of.
