The home of Watt, Trevithick, Maudslay, Stephenson, MacNaught and Parsons can no longer make a durable marine engine? The sun really
has set.

What happened to the 100,000 mile powertrain warranty?
To: CrazyIvan
LOL! A frieng of mine had an old 440 BSA years ago and had to completely replace the electrical system on it. He referred to Lucas As “Prince of Darkness.”

Probably British made, with electrics by Lucas.

Turbines by Rolls Royce, Diesel by PRC?
Who covers the cost if replacing all the engines? The government due to bad specs or the manufacturers?

Depends on (a) the exact problem, and (b) the way the contract was written. I was involved in construction program litigation for a few years. We kept telling our clients, “Read the contract. Read the contract. Read the contract.”

I had a Triumph Trophy with magneto ignition.
Why do the English drink warm beer?
They have Lucas refrigerators.

That can’t be British built. I don’t see an oil slick anywhere in those pics. d;^)

Why are they still using destroyers, didn’t they lose enough of them in WW II?

When I saw that ship a while back, I didn't think it was all that attractive (not that our new ones are a heck of a lot better) but I did a photoshop with some dazzle...looks better!
