    I first read this news on Barotrauma subreddit. Have to re-google the whole news just to check if it’s real or simply Barotruma shitposting. [For context, the game Barotrauma involve operating submarine, and you can rewire components to modify the boat’s function. Rewiring the boat’s system is one of the most common way of messing with the sub]

    The fact it’s not a joke is even funnier.

      And the cherry on top here is that the hull of the warship is made of fibreglass plastic. I guess that checks out given that UK can’t do steel production anymore. 🤣

        Not the cases here. Those two ships are mine countermeasure ships. Ships of this kind are commonly made with such material to reduce magnetic signature as much as possible.
