    "Secret repairs"? Really? As published... in a newspaper?!Perhaps this one should be in the 'biscuit' thread...

    There are always issues with a first of class.
    A bent drive shaft sounds a little rediculous mind you.
    I assume they mean propellor shaft.

    reads to me as if she had been accepted from the builders with a known defect and that the builders bent the shaft.
