The Navy’s largest ship set out on Sunday for what had been described as “This landmark mission will help shape future drone and stealth plane operations” set to last four months before breaking down not far from the South Coast. Defense industry sources suggested the problem was with the ship’s propeller shaft.
The HMS Prince of Wales only became fully operational last year, requiring £3.3 million in repairs after an incident in 2020 when water in the engine room damaged its electronics. The HMS Prince of Wales has been at sea for just 87 days in its 2 year life.
