HFX Chronically Horrid: "Sub left port with electrical problem"
Edited on Mon Dec-06-04 04:31 PM by Hand
More on those British floating coffins some nincompoop actually purchased... for $750 million and growing.

"HMCS Chicoutimi left Scotland on its ill-fated maiden voyage to Canada with an unresolved glitch in its main electrical system, The Canadian Press has learned.

The problem, spelled out in a Telex message obtained under the federal Access to Information Act, confirms for the first time that the submarine had a significant problem with its electrical system after it was handed over to Canadian authorities.

...

The document raises further questions about the condition of the used, British-built boat prior to a deadly Oct. 5 fire that led to the death of Lieut. Chris Saunders, a 32-year-old combat systems engineer from Halifax."
