Jealous at the incompetence of the modern US Navy, His Majesty's Fleet vows that they too can 'Eff up their own vessels:

quote:

Two British minesweepers collided while alongside at Bahrain on Thursday, video footage and the Ministry of Defence confirms, with level of damage observed suggesting ships may be out of action for some time.

Two of the three Royal Navy minesweepers assigned to the Gulf appear out of service, quite possibly for a considerable period of time, after a dramatic collision saw HMS Chiddingfold power into the flank of HMS Bangor while she lay alongside at Bahrain. While the cause of the collision has not yet been revealed, video footage obtained of the incident by the MilitaryBanter-Fill Your Boots UK Twitter account shows Chiddingfold appearing to accelerate as she backed towards Bangor, at least suggesting mechanical failure rather than operator error may have been to blame.

Loss of propulsion casualty. Normally you’d have some one stationed at the auxiliary controls to take local control during the maneuvering watch… it would appear that didn’t happen.

This has a tendency to happen when you’re more worried about quota hiring over being actually effective at your job.

The US navy is a laugh as well.
