?hms astute aground off isle of skye..............scotland!


      Even before being put to sea for the first time a year ago, the Astute was a navy showpiece. The first submarine to be built from a British shipyard for 10 years, it was the subject of an extended BBC television documentary shown this summer that chronicled every stage of its construction. Partly because of its advanced design, and partly because of management problems, it was completed nearly four years late and with a cost overrun of more than $1 billion. 


      if you don't know where you are you run aground.

      if you don't know what you are doing a cost overrun of $1 billion can be expected!

      PS     conspiracy theory - are RN "navigators" actually al-Qaida operatives?
