What a ridiculous article.

It weighs just a couple of thousand tonnes more than they quote, I have no idea what they mean by 'clean power', it doesn't just run off diesel generators, there are 2 gas turbines that produce electricity, and a random passer by, a van driver, was able to tell that it was 'clearly very serious', because it was being escorted by tugs? These ships don't have bow thrusters or azi-pods, you always need a tug or two to park them up.

Mostly nonsense and typos.

Clean energy and layman observations aside, the incident did happen, which is the news at hand..

Was it something big? The article says it's clearly something very serious, but the quote is from a white van man that was stopped at the side of the road at the time

Only thing i can find in the article is "it has experienced technical issues"

We're too stupid to design them in properly.

I actually asked one of the officers this, whilst on a little tour of HMS Dauntless. It's to keep the hull as silent as possible apparently.

I believe it was less to do with hearing other stuff as to stop other stuff from hearing it.
