OK chemistry nerds, what is the reaction going on here? Aluminium / Aluminium oxide and... bleach? Ammonia? Presumably some cleaning solution.
Sal Mercogliano (WGOW Shipping) 🚢⚓🐪🚒🏴‍☠️@mercoglianos

How can such a futuristic ship look so crappy at the same time? The color of the turret versus that of the hull and the running chemical reaction from the discharges on the aluminum hull, just don't inspire a positive impression.

@mickeyhynes @BO3673 36 F-35s is the surge number and requires a much reduced helicopter component onboard. F35s, plus Merlin ASW, plus Merlin AEW, plus (probably this time around) Chinook MITL is a pretty credible FOC benchmark for the carrier.

Until we erase that mindset from our leaders, we'll never escape the doomloop.

@hawchcf1 Wants cheaper energy. Opposes new pylons. Make it make sense without telling me they want to dig a 100 mile long trench to save someone from having to look at a power line.

Only @reformparty_uk can be trusted to protect our countryside from Labour and Tory plans for 50m pylons, nuclear waste dumps, wind turbines and solar farms that scar our land and hike energy bills. We’ll put Lincolnshire people and nature first. Local energy, not costly eyesores

@FennellJW Government has the resources, not deploying them is a choice. Remember: "Anything we can actually do, we can afford."

Foreign ownership and energy contracts has relied on the goodwill of states who are actively seeking to create vulnerabilities in UK's defence and security supply chain. Yet government does not have the resources to invest in the technology needed to make the industry thrive.

In 1978 British Steel employed nearly 300,000 mostly men and made raw steel from British coal and iron ore. It was already loss making and outcompeted on global markets. Now it is a tiny, perhaps nominal, industrial hangover. Yet steel is industy's most important raw material.

@FennellJW So this whole market fundamentalist excursion was a dangerous dead end all along, eh?

Markets are no longer free, trade is no longer unfettered, and more to the point, neither markets nor trade are disconnected from the geopolitics of land and peoples. Economic sovereignty - the stewardship of economies by the dear old, deeply inefficent nation state - is back.

passenger numbers for the reopened Northumberland Line are "five times their original estimate". the way the DfT estimates ridership for rail projects is very obviously broken, with negative implications on what actually gets built bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@thinkdefence Not necessarily. Why would they? Speed of relevance! Most ships have a CIP just after delivery for exactly the same reasons - things change during the time they're being built; some anticipated, some emergent. It's not new, it's a feature not a bug!

A small amount, but interesting that we are upgrading T31 before they enter service. Does this mean the requirements setting process and basis for competition, especially when compared to more T26 were flawed, or is it just events dear boy?
Babcock International@Babcockplc

We’ve been awarded a Capability Insertion Period contract to add crucial capabilities to the five Type 31 frigates we’re building, ensuring the next generation of Royal Navy warships remain at the forefront of global security. Read more: babcockinternational.com/news/babcock-a…

@TarryTotter @DavidLarter You usually get a "Dead Cat Bounce" after a sharp fall as people take advantage of the perceived opportunity to buy equities cheap as the panic-driven fall probably led to some being undervalued.

@olibatt @navalhistorian @mattotele @MontyTele @Telegraph If you size the facilities and supply chains for just what you need to build up and maintain a stockpile, they will prove woefully inadequate for an actual conflict. You need to build-in and maintain spare capacity. On the low end, adding shifts, on the high end shadow factories.

@olibatt @navalhistorian @mattotele @MontyTele @Telegraph If we had reduced the size of the armed forces whilst retaining the ability to ramp production and expand them again we'd be in a far better position. Russia proved that a second rate power that made some sensible choices around its industrial base could hold off our production.

@olibatt @navalhistorian @mattotele @MontyTele @Telegraph Russia is not a fabulously wealthy industrial powerhouse. It invested in being able to wage this type of war, one we discounted as obsolete. Now we're all eating the consequences of those decisions. China *is* a wealthy industrial powerhouse & invested in mass arms production.

@olibatt @navalhistorian @mattotele @MontyTele @Telegraph Ukraine isn't going to win because Russia had the ability to ramp its munitions production prodigiously and we, collectively, didn't because we'd decided years ago that the supporting industry wasn't important enough to save the stockpiles it sustained didn't matter.
