[NCC-1701]

The pattern on the sub’s hull looks like the space shuttle tiles.

“It seems that Canucks want to prove something to others”

They’re just trying to make up for the embarrassment Fidel jr. caused in India.

“During construction, work on the submarine was delayed due to a labour strike.[9] Upholder commissioned into the Royal Navy on 7 December 1990.[8] Her commissioning was delayed due to a problem with the operation of the torpedo tubes, which had to be welded closed to prevent sea water entering the submarine.”>

The sub should be subject to the “Lemon Law”. “Construction delayed due to a strike” — right there you have a problem.

The sub should be subject to the “Lemon Law”

Or just be labeled a jinxed ship and scrapped before it kills the crew.

WE know him well...

But Trudie made sure their costumes were well-designed, we can hope.

I am surprised that they can find a submarine commander willing to take his submarine on mission without torpedoes.

[castlegreyskull]

The picture in the article shows torpedoes. Perhaps they fixed their leaking tubes.

Subs always have that nice open spacious feeling..../s Thanks for the pictures.

That "cluttered" look is deliberate. Over and above not limiting access to all utility routings, for damage control, it's been found that blank walls add to the feeling of claustrophobia during long deployments.

You see the same "busy" decor aboard US submarines. Remember, every submarine qualified crewman has been tested, and can find his way through the whole boat, in the dark, by touch, and can explain every control and valve he touches, by name, function, and system...

There is a video at the link. Could not help but notice the Capt has some serious eyebrows going on.

Even Leonid Brezhnev would have said, "Those are some big-ass eyebrows."

Wow. I didn’t know the Canadian Navy had any working ships, let alone sea worthy submarines.

And how many of your ships are in the body and fender shop after running into merchantmen? Three? Four?

[captain_dave]

I wouldn’t be surprised if the US Navy had a dozen or more under repair. The last eight years under Zero has shot morale to pieces. That and maintenance cuts have lead to sloppy sailors sailing sloppily.
