    There seems to be something wrong with our bloody ships today

    So said Admiral of the Fleet David Richard Beatty, 1st Earl Beatty GCB, OM, GCVO, DSO in 1916, one hundred years ago, at the battle of Jutland.

    Judging by the news today re the engine failures on the latest ships, we seem to have forgotten how to build marine engines.

    Ho hum.

    How are the mighty fallen, etc.
