2. HMS Dauntless - electrical overload
“An electrical overload did occur and to ensure that essential
systems remained powered, low priority systems were briefly isolated
until the problem was fixed.
Every new class of ship has teething problems.
Ships have their own characteristics and it takes time for the ship's
company to learn them in every environment.”
[Royal Navy Spokesman as reported by Daily Mail]
