And there was me thinking it was just outdrives that are unreliable after reading recent posts

You would have thought
1- they would have thrashed a prototype to death before role out
2- use a mule to test new tech before role out and taken a small gamble

Thing is no one,s "cock is in on the block" in the public sector --just promotion or sideways move .

Not sure that is 100% correct, I can think of a number of former colleagues whose poor decision making and risk management cost them their careers. However I will agree that repercussions just aren't as visible as they are in the wider corporate environment.

Times -says its Geoff Hoon who called for the RR new untried tech -BEA systems original spec was a GE power pack allready used and perfected by 23 navys world wide .
Geoff,s happily drawing he's MP,s pension --- ? --- since release from prison (wife's points debarcle ) .

Agreed not quite a sideways move --but not for this , quite ironic really

On the latter point, I think you'll find that was Chris Huhne.

Geoff Hoon's moment of fame came when he was asked about a port in Iraq;

"Umm Qasr is a city similar to Southampton," UK defence minister Geoff Hoon
said in The Commons.

"He's either never been to Southampton, or he's never been to Umm Qasr"
replied a British Squaddie patrolling Umm Qasr.

Another soldier added: "There's no beer, no prostitutes and people are
shooting at us. It's more like Portsmouth."
