MT30 is going on in multiple western ships. And we don't know if it's engine breakdown or something else with vikky. Point is carriers are hard to maintain no matter Russian or western.
MT30 is the key problem, as is fuckall QA in the british yards, that too because of substantial down time between orders which causes issues.
This is a crack in the starboard prop shaft that developed over some time, ergo maintenance didnt see it either. so speaks VOLUMES about RN standards these days.

You have to remember the new design needs to meet certain consideration. It has to be very visible on the vast stretches of the ocean. That's why St. George's Cross was very popular. It stood out and was easily recognizable and you could tell which navy it was. Adding too much detail would make it hard to discern the differences at distance. I guess that is why IN stuck with St. George's Cross for so long. It was a simple yet effective design.
