It would not do buying British warships from Fred Olsen I suppose, and it certainly would not do buying them from China. But building warships for the government is not like competing on the open market. And so the two yards have actually not been saved any more than a covid 19 patient on artificial respiration has been saved. But of course there might be a race to naval superiority between China and the West on the horizon and if so Harland and Wolff might be in the money for years to come.
Should anyone be in contact with Nick from New Zealand, that captain from Tintin portrait fellow on SN, and able to tell him the news, he might be encouraged to leave for old England immediately, if he has not already done so.
