 Worse than I thought - Old Navy
Sorry that was a bit rushed, the first link should read -

>>We have six fleet (nuclear propelled) submarines, this means two newish ones and four very old (unreliable) >>ones. You would be lucky to have two operational at any one time. A bit thin on the ground.

Followed by -

See what I mean about unreliable, some of our armed forces are becoming an embarrassment. While I believe we should have a nuclear deterrent, we also need to realise that we are not the world's policeman any more and have not been for a century.

 Worse than I thought - bathtub tom
"A 650ft-long metal barrier covers the submarine to avoid detection"

That was a waste of time then.
