A Royal Navy nuclear submarine equipped with Trident missiles suffered a huge malfunction that sent it into an endless dive before the vessel was righted moments before the crew faced being crushed by underwater pressure, it was claimed today.

The Vanguard class sub had been carrying 140 crew when its depth gauge suddenly failed while on a mission in the Atlantic.

It caused a frantic scrabble with engineers managing to stop the submarine and its nuclear reactor from plunging further just moments before disaster struck.

The deep sea vessel, carrying Trident 2 missiles, was on patrol when the depth indicators stopped working, with its crew falsely believing it was level when in fact it was diving deeper into the ocean.

It was only when engineers at the back of the sub found a second gauge indicating they were headed towards the 'danger zone' that they sounded the alarm.

Degredation of standards and quality of workmanship has resulted in all kind of propbems with maintenance and operation, not only in the military, but heavily in industry.  I ran into an old co-worker a few weeks ago, and they said I would have blown a gasket managing my department at the plant now.

No doubt. I'm starting to get nervous about everything, from entering a high-rise building to driving across a bridge, between the low standards in higher ed (including engineering schools) to manufacturing.

Gen Z workers say they should be hired for their ‘personality,’ not productivity: We ‘set the vibes’

Forget the resume — Gen Z thinks you should hire them for their personalities.

According to the youngest generation in the workforce, their humor and wit provides a certain vibrance older employees apparently lack.

They’ve even invented a term — “personality hire” — to describe their self-perceived function in a corporate setting: to provide all the jokes, banter and playfulness needed in order to “set the vibes.” ...

Heaven help us (and the Royal Navy).

Yeah? Who is going to be providing your medical care? Scary thought....

Exactly. Who designs the MRI machines, bridges, cars, bridges; who does your lab work or cuts into you; who the heck even inspects the food. We are not in a good place.

Coming just a few days after that enormous muslim pro-pali demonstration in London, this incident is a harbinger of the future of [once "Great"] Britain...
