No wonder they are out of money, They are paying too many dumbasses.

it sounds like someone’s going to be in hot water over this

[E. Pluribus Unum]

We’re going to need a bigger radiator.

Well if it wasn’t for global warming things would be different, but mostly the same.//

Specs based on last campaign, which was...in the cold waters of the South Atlantic off the Falkland Islands.

And duty stations in the North Atlantic.

head shaking....

>>Britain’s £1billion a piece Type-45 Destroyer ships break down in warm water <<

I hope they don’t make planes.

Send them some four stack destroyers.

That would look awesome on a business card...

Beautiful ship.
It looks like the British Shipyard have gone the route the British Automobile manufacturers went in the 60s, 70s & 80s.
Beauty over function.

comments section is even more interesting. Interchangeable with the ones we see here.

So much for that “rule the waves” thing. Sad.

Always seek to build ship engines that will run in the usual predictable and historically slightly cooler temperatures of the Gulf of Mexico,i.e 85 degrees. And obtain warranty for parts and service.

Oh, man. I told them not to use Lucas Electric...

[Trod Upon]

So nobody did the math for warmer climes? Oh my.

This has prince Charles written all over it.

Was a man. Was not a man. Kids are men.

[Thud]

This is hilarious.

Did the designers also work on the F-35? The B-1?

[Pollster1]

How could they not know the operating temperature range of interest, when every engineer in any navy knows the temperature range, and is constantly reminded of temperature either by SVP graphs or by hourly seawater intake temperature readings? A professional would design either for a seawater pump capacity sufficient to cool everything even when in the Persian Gulf or at least with a supplemental pump to take up the slack when the ship is in the Gulf.

Didn’t anybody stop to think that these boats are “ocean going” and would run into warm waters?

[DungeonMaster]

Don’t laugh too hard, many of our older nukes had this problem.
