Can we now expect a similar story from the G&M on the third shipyard?  VAdm Norman may well have regrets about his private and off-hand characterizations about it and its management having been put in the public domain, but no one I know who has served in the Navy thinks that they malign anyone; rather that they are but a polite statement of fact. The stories then told to back this up, of how HMC ships, their crews, and their paymaster have suffered over the decades, would be great grist for Mr Fife's talents as demonstrated above.  Assuming that his masters would print it.
