yeah, they should have left ship building to the UK. Then it would at least be in service before it sank. (Sorry, couldn't resist

Actually, they're Irish, but still UK.

Might I remind you of the Titanic and Britannic? And Atlantic? And Naronic? And Suevic? Or what of Republic? Arabic?

Or the Tayleur, which took place before all that?

pauljanaway1 · « **Reply #12 on:** June 18, 2008, 11:47:23 »

yes but you have had many ship sink aswell

Just a joke on how it seems like every ship that the UK builds that they're proud of sinks

Turns out the real mistake was she ship itself.

Its sister was launched successfully 2 years later with a great reduction in height.

Read the discription.
