“...after it failed to make it out of the harbour.

Take that Putin (and Iran)!!!!

NATO don’t need to do no maintenance on our ships because WE ARE NATO and therefore WE ARE INVINCIBLE!

You might not believe this but I was watching part of a Rocky and Bullwinkle Show earlier today. Stokey the Bear, funniest thing you’ll see today.

Sounds like a recurrent problem for this ship.

Didn’t the French have a propeller fall off their carrier a few years ago? And have to put on used ones from another ship?

Now, I could be wrong, but I can’t figure out how a “propeller” has a “coupling”.

It has to be coupled to the shaft somehow.

P Di didn’t couple well?

I’d doubt it.

Brits should learn from the Russians that carriers should never be outside hailing distance from an ocean-going tug.

Rum and the lash are no longer allowed. Maybe that is the issue. Who knew that rum and the lash were so important?

She went with any Sloan Ranger she could ride and apparently muslims too. Dodi the party boy of Harrod’s owner. With a drunken chauffeur so it is said. But, she “cared” so for the downtrodden, oh and Elton John too.

What farce is England from what it once was. Ever since it lost the American Colonies.

Not a county - it’s part of the county of Hampshire. You can’t leave Portsmouth by sea without passing the IoW.

She has now sailed. All this hot air and 70+ plus posts deriding a bare 24-hour delay on a mission for which a major warship was given barely a week’s notice. I call that pretty impressive.
