"The hunt" failed: the newest British ship broke down after the start of the campaign

P-224 HMS Trent

Royal's newest warship fleet worth about £ 100 million, broke down at sea just days before his first military campaign.

According to Western media outlets, the power plant of the HMS Trent patrol pennant has failed. The engine failure occurred shortly after he went to sea for the second time and spent only three days in open waters.

The ship was captured at the moment when it was "dragged back to the port", writes the Western press. HMS Trent was to join the NATO mission "to hunt terrorists and human traffickers." He left his home in Portsmouth, UK on 3 August. Gibraltar was the first port to enter the pennant.

The battleship was heading for the eastern Mediterranean when "something went wrong." The captain unrolled the pennant entrusted to him and they managed to return to the Gulf of Gibraltar on their own "sails", but then tugs were called to help enter the harbor.
The Royal Navy later reported that the ship was damaged and is now awaiting spare parts for repairs.

The P-224 HMS Trent was laid down in October 2015 at a shipyard in Glasgow, launched in March 2018, and commissioned on 3 August this year. It belongs to the Batch 2 type - the third generation of British river-class patrol ships, designed to combat piracy, smuggling, terrorism, fishing protection, border patrols, and naval defense. HMS Trent is the third ship in this project out of five.

It seems that this time the newest British ship will not be able to take part in the "hunt for terrorists", moreover, deployed in the eastern Mediterranean, where the situation already looks very tense.

A trifle, but nice .. More such breakdowns, etc. !

A great shame and humiliation for a warship that is like this in peacetime "dragged by the nostril"...

You can certainly recall similar cases with the ships of the Russian Navy, but who is Russia -
this "regional power","a gas station country with a torn economy", compared to Great Britain,"mistress of the seas"with her Grand Fleet?

[Buffet]

liberal-minded citizens on this score would say so. And of course they prefer not to notice it ..

I disagree, not a trifle, not HMS Trent, but trend. And if so, then there will be more breakdowns, crashes, collisions.

Well, God forbid! And then the naglo-Saxons love to promote their superiority .. They also have razdolbaystvo, maybe more than in Russia!

[Alex777]

"Upstairs" do not want the Anglo-Saxons to unleash another world war. So their new ships break down one after another. Especially the new carriers. IMHO.

[Thrifty]

Are there no oars in the kit? Otherwise, he would have gone further, as in the good old days, on the oars, until the spare parts were delivered - by a steam plane

[voyaka uh]

And if you read the article carefully:
"The captain unrolled the pennant entrusted to him and they managed to return to the Gulf of Gibraltar on their own" sails "
The engine did not fail completely. The ship reached Gibraltar on its own.

Little consolation for a new ship worth £ 100 million, isn't it?

[voyaka uh]

Engine problems are specific to new ships.
Or very, very old.
The new ones are adjusted, the old ones are described.

So it is so, but what if tomorrow is a war, and it does not walk, but only floats. Maybe it is necessary to extend the time of sea trials, and not to throw "on the hunt", otherwise it will not take long to turn from a hunter into a trophy.

[voyaka uh]

Well, in general, it is not noticed that British squadrons or
individual ships of the first class were accompanied by tugs
in their foreign campaigns.
That is, somehow they cope.

[Eugene-Eugene]

Malta effect

[Alber alber]

Maybe because the number of squadrons, ships of the first class and even tugs has been greatly reduced? The American warrant comes with an auxiliary fleet and does not show off, and only fashion magazines do not write about the decline of the British fleet in Albion

In the future, it makes sense for the British to remember the past and install sailing equipment on their ships. .

[TermNachTer]

£ 100 million Art. - how much is in native rubles? Then someone said that Russian ships are very expensive)))) Consider, it’s not even a ship that is worth it, but it’s a misunderstanding that is only good for chasing pirates and poachers))))

Our ships and not only will always be cheaper. The salary in rubles is scanty.

[TermNachTer]

If you want a big salary, come to Ukraine)))) your meager salary will seem like a fairy tale to you

[nPuBaTuP]

Instead of 7 feet, it turned out to be much smaller ...
To be honest, I'm glad this turn ...

[Prisoner]

Why not rejoice? We have the right. The ship is military, the state is more than unfriendly. It is not a sin to raise a toast for such gifts.

But I wrote to their prime minister that it is not worth saving on branded oil. Hike, he incorrectly translated the word "worthless" ...

Hmm ... You have a "good" opinion about the interlocutor ...

But it's not that I don't know where the quote came from ( in original - "- Tell the sovereign that the British do not clean their guns with bricks: even if they do not clean them here either, God save war, they are not good for shooting - Lefty pronounced clearly, crossed himself and died." ), but in the question WHO IS THE ONE who still "cleans guns with bricks" ...

WHOM Thunderbringer with your commentary opposed the British?

[Thunderbringer]

We know who. Great ukrov of course.
What are the British? Well, the continent was squeezed out, well, the scientific and technological revolution and all sorts of technological structures.
And this whole sea was dug by hand, the pyramids were built.

After all, Leskovsky "Lefty" in his phrase did not mention ukroshumerov, but the backwardness of the tsarist regime, obsolete weapons, which later manifested itself in the Crimean War ...

Sorry to get involved in a dispute between competent maslopupov, but in my humble opinion, they have flooded NIGROL

Come on! The thing is that they first entered Gibraltar. Here are the Spaniards and hurry up! Since Gibraltar does not give up Britain, then .... These are the "Lady of the Seas"

Quote: Dead Day

do you think that Lukoil has been flooded?

Lukoil, by the way, is an excellent oil. Steamers ride on it in my company. Yanmar, Wärtsilä, Volvo-Penta. On old steamers SKL and Skoda - they work perfectly. For a month, they wind up 500-600 hours, the military never dreamed of this.
We have now even abandoned the practice of changing oil "by the hour" on new ships. Each steamer has an express laboratory, and the oil is checked at the 200th hour of operation, and then every 100 hours. Replacement only when the analysis shows that the parameters "floated".
Plus, in Lukoil, it is something that can be ordered directly from the brand's representatives, and you can be sure that they will not bring an underground shmurdyak.

[andrewkor]

An experienced mechanic will immediately determine the condition of a drop of oil on the blotter and on the spot.

[Rzzz]

Quote: andrewkor

A drop of oil on a blotter

This is not enough now. It is necessary to control more parameters, incl. and base number which is the main indicator for oil change when the diesel is running on high sulfur fuel.

[Prisoner]

If Lukoil had been flooded, they would not have known grief. Good oil.

We would have put on such a "caliber".

It seems that this time the newest British ship will not be able to take part in the "hunt for terrorists", and deployed just in the eastern Mediterranean, where the situation already looks very tense.

It is possible that in England they decided not to get into other people's showdowns and just came up with a plausible excuse.

Hrenase is a river guard, with a draft of 3.5 meters, harpoons and over 2k displacement. Or am I again confused and "river" does not mean river?

[Avior]

Means. But this is the name of the class, not the purpose.
This is their fashionable name since the beginning of the 20th century for the classes of ships, very different - from destroyers to minesweepers and submarines.

And, I understood, thanks - cleared up.

[Free wind]

Ships Volgo-Don type, sea river, draft 3.5 meters. And here is the Gibroaltar Bay, I don't know that.

This is due to the fact that you didn’t graduate from academies and didn’t manage to visit all bays ...

The Royal Navy's newest warship, worth about £ 100m, broke down at sea just days before its first combat mission.

Yeah, they forgot how to build. In China, for that kind of money, they would have built 3 units

[tralflot1832]

And we are also indignant that we are building a rocket trifle (but what a trifle, it's a pity the caliber will not reach England from the Black Sea) And then the "ruler of the seas" will devote the river to the devil on Easter cakes. Fortunately, there are almost no storms in the Mediterranean puddle. Breakdown or high-quality exploitation or Rolls-Royce Poles collect.

[Avior]

This is not a river, but a river class.
This is a very common name for the last hundred years for different classes of ships - destroyers, frigates, submarines, minesweepers.

The translator is a woman (obviously she didn't understand anything about the nautical theme!). And suddenly here (on VO !!!) - the same thing!

Maybe the sailors just had a demobilization on the nose, and their campaign was long ...
Something immediately "went wrong"

[Simon]

And it was necessary to help the British, to repair their ship, as the Americans helped in the Arctic Ocean, when their nuclear submarine froze into the ice of the ocean. For Russia, prestige, but for NATO members, a shame on the whole world!

patrol pennant

- is this such a new class of ships? In the original, this is an offshore patrol vessel or patrol boat - i.e. coastal patrol boat (or vessel). Yes, the beauty and pride of RN

And why not stealth, then we are not afraid of pirates. And a little more serious enemy, so immediately we are looking for an invisible hat. I will give advice the best disguise from everyone, this is to take so much on the chest so as not to see anyone and then no one will see the English ships.
