So this is why they're making their warships out of paper mache lately?

This is the result of two British ships crashing into each other today

UK built a Potemkin village of a navy I see.

I'm assuming this is a minesweeper. Fiberglass and wood are used to build minesweepers, as a steel hull will set off magnetically-fused naval mines. You still have the issue of the engines, shafts, and propellers, but those have much lower magnetic effect than an entire vessel made of ferrous metal.
