Britain max stressing sailors on deterrent patrols. The continuing saga of the "green submarine "


Breakdowns in discipline in Royal Navy submarines have received periodic media attention in recent years, whether related to harassment and forbidden sexual relationships, the abuse of hard drugs and alcohol, or raucous partying. At one point, in 2017, such scandals culminated in 10% of the Vigiliant’s crew being discharged, investigated, or compelled to resign—including the captain and first officer.

An old mate, now deceased, used to be a polaris submariner and was always totally off his chops on booze, gear, crack and anything else he could get his hands on, at sea and on land.

It does make me worry quite how safe our nuclear deterrent is.

12th October 1941, German submarine U-83 stopped the neutral Portuguese ship Corte Real 100 miles off Portugal at 1400 hours.

Upon discovering that Corte Real was en route to Canada and Australia, the Germans removed the 42 crew members onto 3 lifeboats and then sunk Corte Real. U-83 towed the lifeboats for 3 hours toward Lisbon, Portugal before cutting the tow lines.

On 4 March 1943 U-83 was sunk with the loss of all hands southeast of Cartagena in Spain, by three depth charges dropped from an RAF Hudson bomber.

PoW isn't qualified for fixed wing aviation yet. So it's only test pilots from VX-23 at Pax River on deck this week.
I thought it was the lack of F-35s that was the issue? How come a brand new carrier isn’t ready for her aircraft off the shipyard?
 
So I was reading an article about Airbus commissioning a new fleet of wind-assisted ships for the transportation of its airplane parts, in an effort to reduce its carbon footprint.

The article has an artist's impression of what the ships will look like, and those are not the kind of 'sails' I had in mind when I read the headline. How do those work, then?
