The Titanic foundered because there weren't enough engineers in the crew and no serious attempt was made at damage control.
I prefer the HMS Nottingham simile where, instead of abandoning ship, the crew responded to the real emergency, plugged up the holes and kept the ship afloat. Whether she sails again depends on decisions taken at the highest levels of the MOD, but if she doesn't put to sea again it will be no fault of Nottingham's Marine Engineering Department. (BTW, Nice one Craig. Damned well done!)
Keep pumping chaps, keep pumping!
