Well, maybe. I like Peter Zehan and recommend his works. I found this one on the British carriers and their problems. The narrator is annoying, but I think Zehan has a pretty good read on how things work. (I suspect because he consults with the US government, he has made some disparaging Trump remarks and I think he’s on the wrong page with Covid. I tend to skip those videos.)
One of the problems the Brit’s have, which I have read in other articles, is they are socialists. When they backed Hillary’s ill fated Libyan adventure, they literally fired all their cruise missiles. They ran their planes to the point they essentially had few ready for domestic uses.
They are like Germany, who, when I last looked had zero deployable submarines. They were all waiting dock space for repairs. The former defense minister was quoted as saying that they couldn’t fight a war at full tempo for more than a week because of no spare parts.
So, what Zehan has to say about the Brits and their support ships may have merit. On the other hand, it’s really hard to develop a reliable picture about anything these days as there is so much bad information out there.
Start at about minute six.

Think about all of that extra fossil fuel being burned to get these ships around Africa. The global warming, global cooling, climate change folks must be going crazy.

So can they remove all the cargo? Then get a large tug up at the bow and one at the stern and push opposite directions?

Several heavy duty Caterpillars on tracks and on land with heavy cable hitched at the right place should be able to point this vessel in the right directionThink a team of ants trying to pull your car.
