A 200 litres per hour leak seems like nothing to me for a ship of this size. The bilge pump in my narrowboat is designed to pump 2,700 lires an hour. Why don't the Government just buy one of those and wire it up to the 12v?

A boat is a hole in the water that you throw money in. This is just a bigger hole.

Bit of a non story really. Its on its sea trials, designed to find flaws so they can be sorted before she can be sent on active service.

Not having any Aircraft is the bigger outrage and you can blame david Camoron for that
