Something that David Yellow said in Jane's piece in the Telegraph has made me think something alot more serious is going on with Discovery.

He mentioned 'a litany of problems' with the ship, implying they were over and above the engine fault.

That part of his reply to Jane pretty much convinces me that the MCA should do a full inspection of the vessel as, and I know I am repeating myself here, if they have been hiding the engine fault, what else are they hiding that is wrong with the ship?

Discovery is 36 years old, the ship can't last forever.....what else is wrong with the ship that has caused David Yellow to say that she has a litany of problems??
