TKM is Thyssenkrupp Marine division.
Was Corus for sale? TATAs have huge huge investments and goodwill in UK. They have a good chance of taking over RR group as a whole if they have the finances. UK govt vetoing it may mean retaliatory measures by India againist UK companies. Post Brexit UK cannot afford that.
Rolls Royce recently sold off its marine division.

Corus wasfor sale. Corus ia not a high technology company. Corus was under loss due to recession and hence was auctioned.
Rolls Royce has sold its automobile division,marine division, power divisodietc but the defence division is still present.
Defence division has lot of classified data about aero engine, nuclear submarine, aircraft carrier etc. By all means, this division is under control of the government directly. The ownership is only partial. Even if the division ia sold, the entire patents, the patented machinery and the IPR will be with UK government.
