Apologies for bad picture but it’s a long way away. It’s off Purbeck and being towed by a tug.

At least it’s still undergoing sea trials, the German Navy’s new frigate was sent back to the shipyard because it failed its sea-trials, and they don’t have a single submarine in service!

At least they didn’t build two aircraft carriers for which no planes exist
