The British aircraft carrier "Queen Elizabeth" is mechanically malfunctioning!
Some time ago, a British aircraft carrier was built at a cost of 3.5 billion pounds"Queen Elizabeth"The delay in departure due to mechanical problems caused great concern.
According to the British ** February 4 **, the aircraft carrier was supposed to take part in NATO exercises in European waters, but due to"Serious problem", it may have to dock"months"Carry out repairs. The news embarrassed the Navy, and the issue of the urgent relocation of the Prince of Wales was widely discussed.
According to US naval experts, the starboard propeller shaft of the aircraft carrier exists"Major issues", possibly docked"months"to be able to fix it. It is really worrying that an aircraft carrier worth billions of dollars would dock for this reason.
What's more, this is not the first time that the Queen Elizabeth has suffered such a malfunction. Last year, the Queen Elizabeth underwent a nine-month repair that cost 25 million euros due to a crack in the propeller shaft. The accident raises the question of how much these frequent accidents will affect the ship's operability and its maintenance schedule.
The decision came three days after the British Navy senior ** finally agreed to send aircraft carriers to the Middle East to support the operations of the American fleet in the Red Sea. The Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist group has attacked several ships in and around the Red Sea, claiming solidarity with the Palestinians in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
However, since there were no British aircraft carriers in the area, the United States launched air strikes against the Houthis almost independently. As the Houthis continue to carry out terrorist attacks on international shipping, the US and British air forces have launched joint attacks in the region with the aim of striking the militants behind Iran.
In conclusion, the failure of the aircraft carrier, which led to the postponement of its departure, was an awkward moment for the British Navy and a test of the ability of its fleet to remain ready and complete its mission.
