Canadian submarine not under warranty says British Govt
The British Government yesterday washed its hands of all responsibility for the submarine, HMCS Chicoutimi which they sold to Canada less than a month ago.
HMCS Chicoutimi is now drifting without power in poor weather after having experienced a fire while at sea off the west coast of Ireland.
Canada was claiming yesterday that the British have sold them a dud, but the British Government was quick to wash its hand of the affair, stating that the guarantee registration has still not been received at Whitehall.
“If they haven’t bothered to fill in the warranty form and get it stamped by the store then the guarantee is null and void.” A spokesman told BIGfib.
“Even if it’s in the post and does eventually turn up, reports that we have received that the users have opened the engine, would, if they turn out to be true completely invalidate the warranty.”
