That's why it was located below deck on the Midway.......if you can't see it, you can't shoot it. :nerd:

B.S. flag on that one Ian..........my bro was a helmsman on the Midway........old as the hills........ship had secondary Con even back then. Just cause you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there.

Of course, if they’d designed this sort of redundancy into the drive train we wouldn’t be having a discussion……’cos she wouldn’t have broken down :tongue-out3:

They weren't actually built as stealth ships...we're just calling them that since we haven't seen them for 6 years after being fully paid up. I could post up some of the funny images surrounding this fiasco probably in the jokes section.

Nothing like money not doing what it should.
I ran a local authority caravan park and we decided to refurbish the toilet block so asked building controls for the plans, what we got was unrecognisable.
There was a toilet block funded, paid for and signed of as completed in the late eighties. Site wasn't even pegged out.....

(P.S. Says a LOT when a Royal Navy "Task Group" now comprises 1 Carrier,1 Frigate and a Tanker !!!)

Yes Andy I realised that later having read the news reports .
Now it seems one of the shafts requires grease , the Russians must be beside themselves with laughter. What an embarrassment.
