Didn't anyone know how to shut off the fire main as soon as it burst?

Re: HMS Prince of Wales in difficulties
It is rumoured that both HMS Prince of Wales and her sister ship have been noted as Hi Lee Leeki...
Multiple serious leaks have been noted on both ships.

A ship is always in a slow but perpetual state of sinking. Switch the pumps off and they will all go down eventually.
