"Naval engineers are trying to figure out exactly what is causing the problems onboard the HMAS Adelaide and HMAS Canberra, the largest ships ever constructed for the the Royal Australian Navy.”


But the Federal Minister, in charge of such matters, Christopher Pyne, tells the Australian people that the problems are minor!

Well, he should know, he is the quintessential expert on all and everything.

So the vessels are in safe hands.

"Rear Admiral Adam Grunsell, the head of maritime systems in defence force’s capability acquisition and sustainment group, said the problem could be a design issue, but stressed it was too early to speculate.”

Obviously the Rear Admiral is not in constant touch with the Minister “for all and everything"!
