Britain's newest aircraft carrier the HMS Prince of Wales spent just 87 days at sea during its first two years in service, it has been revealed.
The vessel will now be stranded in Portsmouth until May next year after flooding wrecked the vessel's vital electrical systems last month.
It has been banned from setting sail from its home port on safety grounds after thousands of gallons of sea water poured into the engine room for more than 24 hours in early December.
WNU Editor: Only 87 days at sea during its first two years in service. And now it is banned from setting sail from its home port on safety grounds!!!!! The UK Navy has a problem.
