Truth at last.
Finally…someone has confirmed my theory that many problems in this War / excursion / military operation are caused by “Spineless Jellyfish” and other mindless bottom feeders!
[ “According to the Financial Times, at least 800 merchant ships remain stranded in Gulf waters after fighting broke out on February 28, leaving around 20,000 seafarers on board carrying out basic maintenance as they wait.
But long periods at anchor in the Gulf’s warm, shallow waters are now creating a fresh operational challenge.
“When you don’t move… you have a lot of fouling growing,” said Lasse Kristoffersen, chief executive of Wallenius Wilhelmsen, which has one ship currently stuck in the Gulf.
Marine growth such as barnacles, algae and jellyfish can clog protective gratings and interfere with pipe systems.
It can also attach to ship hulls and propellers, creating drag that slows vessels down and increases fuel use.”]
