It's not a manufacturing screw-up or quality control failure; it's an "
engineering casualty."
How many admirals were involved in thinking up that euphemism?!?

Engineering Casualty is what they are called FReeper Friend. Been that way for a long time.

Engineering casualty is a term that has been used for a long time. In naval jargon it is a bad thing.

“Engineering” is the naval term for a ship’s propulsion systems. It doesn’t refer to the engineering work that went into creating the ship’s design.

Engineering casualty is an old term and quite common.
