The radar is beautiful
(BRUXELLES2) The British navy would have lost a radar... This could pass for a joke. THE HMS Dauntless (D-33), a type 45 destroyer, one of the newest ships in the navy across the Channel, is said to have lost a radar. The fiasco happened while the crew was preparing for joint exercises with the American and French navy tells the Mirror.
A fault detected...
The commander had detected a fault in the system which distinguishes between British and other aircraft. Engineers then replaced the IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) and the failed device was returned to vendors for repair. Finally should have. Because he just disappeared.
... and a radar that shows off
The ship was searched from top to bottom. Then we suspected that he had simply been thrown... in the trash cans. These have been excavated. Finally, the navy realized that the object had indeed been stolen. “The most likely conclusion is that it was removed from the ship during the maintenance period by an unknown person,” says the report released under the Freedom of Information Act. Cost of the radar according to our British colleagues: £500.000
