The incident is the latest in a series of electrical failures which have plagued the Type 45 fleet and forced the Navy to admit that all six destroyers need major repairs...the power is generated from a diesel generator which has often failed to deliver enough energy, forcing the system to shut down... They used Lucas Electric! I TOLD them not to use Lucas Electric!
Sorry, old British sports car joke. How you could possibly under-spec a vital generator is a bit difficult to imagine. Possibly some of the other systems draw a bit more than they said they would? Heads will roll, old boy...

That’s why the British drink warm beer, you know — they all have Lucas refrigerators.
