Saw the footage of The Princess Royal naming the ship, and the bottle not breaking. As soon as I saw that i know it wasnt going to be a lucky ship. Personally I thought, by tradition, that a ship had to be named before its launch and the keel tasted saltwater. Perhaps there is more to this superstition malarky than meets the eye.
