I wouldn't buy any mechanical equipment made in the UK... including this warship.
The thing will be a maintenance nightmare, with zero spare parts available. No two bolts will ever be the same size, like someone rummaged through a junk bin and used what they found (speaking from experience), and the designers won't have thought through the most basic things... so it will have problems with the air filtration, oil circulation or other vital systems that the UK engineers totally ignored while trying to rush the design.
Buying a UK made machine is a lot like buying a French made computer. You CAN... but you'd be better off not to.
The old warship designers and builders that made British warships for decades were superceded by Babcock Engineering who knew nothing at all about building fighting ships at all. Its not for nothing that the ships today are named "Babcock's Ballsups"
