How could it possibly be that a ship gets finished and they find that it weighs more than they thought?

I build a lot of stuff in my career and we could just pull a total weight right off the CAD system. There was no such thing as a surprise.

Persistant list to starboard...
This calls for an investigation of the Kriegsmarine. Is this un-PC right leaning persitant? Intolerable given the portside leaning of Mutti’s regime.

Probably “designed” by a bunch of 3rd world muslims they’ve imported.
Real German engineers are usually pretty damn sharp.

Adolf would have had a fit.

These problems include a persistent list to starboard and the fact that the ship is dramatically overweight, <<

Captain!!...More lead to port side!...Put the sailors on a strict diet to compensate.....That is All...

What is the overall mission of the German military?

Muzzie outreach?

including the embarrassing reality that the country currently has no operational submarines.

No U-boats? Embarrassing? Hell, that's depressing! It's like France without wine.

I wonder if the Turkish workers that were imported to replace Germans had a hand in this?

This is the sort of thing expected from 3rd world nations.

As pointed out in an earlier article, this class is quite deficient in anti-air, anti-sub, and anti-ship weaponry.

It does have water cannons and strobe lights, though...so if they have to fight pirates in speedboats armed with nothing but AK-47s, they’re good to go!

All the better for doing donuts in the parking lot.

Here’s a ‘high tech’ carrier with a deisel engine and insufficient protection

It’s perfect for anti-warfare operations!

Well at least the didn’t run into anybody.

The extra room for Muslim quarters made it overweight.

[Redwood71]

I guess they found it had no resale value.

Well, the Germans refuse to fight at home or on deployment, so what if this ship cannot either?

“Aside from this troubling situation, Germany is going through some major tribulations with its naval arm, including the embarrassing reality that the country currently has no operational submarines.”

They’re too concerned with diversity enforcement to pay for an actual military.
