Electric motors fail on HMS Daring
http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/newshome...rns.6634574.jp
I suppose that propulsion problems aren't so serious on a weaponless ship, no real loss

Why the RN didn't buy the Flight IIA Burkes or build a copy like Korea and Japan I don't know...
 Hard headed I guess...

I guess this isn't really as quite embarrassing for the commander as when that sub got stuck on the sandbar.

Perhaps we'll bring them back...but I'm going to miss the Harrier, a good aircraft, once we ironed out the kinks in her. I'm glad I saw two fly over low the other day, until then I don't think I'd seen them flying in reality.
