Oh dear... Lloyds of London will be getting a call tomorrow.

Ship insurance is SO expensive thanks to a small percentage of careless captains.

Most modern warships are powered by gas turbines, a close family member of the aircraft turbines.

In fact, warships have been increasingly powered by turbines since the British Royal Navy built 'Turbinia' to test the turbine out.

THAT'S how HMS Cornwall ran away from the Iranian dinghy so fast

I've seen the original turbine for Turbinia in the London Science Museum.
