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.....

Didn't get anywhere near the States John...... it didn't even get out of the "Channel" !!
(P.S. Says a LOT when a Royal Navy "Task Group" now comprises 1 Carrier,1 Frigate and a Tanker !!!)

Now it seems one of the shafts requires grease , the Russians must be beside themselves with laughter. What an embarrassment.
