Local rumours up here have her coming into Rosyth to dry-dock in the New year to have these issues sorted, now that PoW is out. Be interesting to see if that happens, as other local scuttlebutt had the dry dock unable to take a completed QE class due to displacement issues. (Hence why such a long fitting out period afloat)
