Nice to know BAE Systems survive well into the future..
Issues with lifeboats you say?
BAE claimed the faults were minor and had no impact on safety. It's understood many of the issues were known by the Royal Navy and were picked up during early trials of the ship as she sailed from the Clyde, in Scotland, to her home in Portsmouth.

Among the defects identifed was a flaw in a small number of bolts in the structures attaching some of the ship's eight life-rafts to its hull, with bolt heads found to have been cut off and glued in place.
