Acting as a demonstrator project for dismantling, Swiftsure was docked down in Rosyth on 27 July 2023 to undergo final dismantling and recycling. Work is ongoing to identify the remaining classified items as well as analysis to determine areas of the boat that can be confirmed as free of all radioactive material. This will support removal of the remaining security-implicated items and non-radioactive materials. We’re continuing the process of removing the stage 1 LLW which is on schedule for completion. The bulk of accessible LLW has been safely removed from the following decommissioned submarines: Swiftsure Resolution Revenge Repulse With each submarine that is processed, more waste has been managed to final disposal, at a faster rate and at lower cost as techniques have been refined and optimised. For example, on Resolution, 50% greater tonnage of waste was removed in three quarters of the time that Swiftsure had taken. This work has to date been successfully completed safely, on time, within budget and minimising any environmental impact. This demonstrator project serves as a proof of concept and a benchmark against which market testing of future dismantling proposals can be assessed to improve future submarine dismantling. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/submarine-dismantling-project

They have all been decommissioned, contrary to your original claim. The process of dismantling is underway. Please do not share sensationalist untruths without any evidence.

Robert Maxwell is buried at the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, his funeral in Israel, attended by Israeli Prime Minister, Israeli President, and at least six serving and former heads of Israeli intelligence. He was a Mossad asset, like his daughter and Epstein.

All roads lead to Israel.

UK submarine fleet A Westminster Hall debate on the UK submarine fleet is scheduled for Wednesday 15 January 2025, from 4:30 to 5:30pm. The debate will be led by Graeme Downie MP.

For the record, the UK's Resolution Class (4 No), Valiant Class (2 No) and Churchill Class (3No) have been decommissioned. As have the Swiftsure Class (6) and Trafalgar Class (7). 9 are in service, and 6 under construction/planned. commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-bri...

"Ask why none yes none of our nuclear subs haven't been decommissioned"

So they have all been decommissioned? Why so scared?

Ignore the illegal trade in seafood by the triads, arrest some poor aunties and uncles trying to put food on their tables.

I think you are probably right, the lintels above the windows/doors line up in the later photo, but not in the one I posted.

In an environment where there are multiple users editing the Excel file, such as the large construction projects I work on, invariably you end up with overly complex formatting, hidden rows & columns, numbers and dates entered as text, and other nasties. I use Python scripts for clean-up, easier.

In my experience, Excel files are catastrophically unreliable for data analytics. You cannot reliably read Excel data programmatically without cleaning up the data and exporting it in CSV format.

That was my first thought. Seems like a huge design flaw where aesthetics took the front seat, rather than functionality.

Reposting incredible #B&W images that tell a story. Wonderful in so many ways.

The best circuit on the F1 calendar demoted to a part time player. How low can they go, a terrible rules update and now this? What comes next?

I saw Slade, supported by Suzi Quattro at the Hardrock, I grew up not far from the Quaddy, my old stomping ground.

We were close to there tonight, on Soi 22. Shame this place is closing, looks interesting.

Not in Germany. I crossed.the road one time when I lived there, some 50m from the designated crossing place because it was convenient and was stopped shortly after by a police car and berated for not using the crossing place. There wasn't another car in sight...

It's interesting, but very procedural. I started reading a while ago, but only return to it when there is nothing else more compelling to read.

Staying at hotels, one thing really annoys me. As a short sighted glasses wearer, if the shampoo and body wash bottles are the same colour with tiny writing on them, it grinds my gears. We are staying at a lovely hotel for a CNY break, and the bottles in the shower have different colours and Images😍
