The Coruisk (not Loch Coruisk) Is not the most attractive of vessels and I believe had some initial problems....now sorted.  The aesthetics leave a lot to be desired especially when compared with some of the fleets former vessels like the King George V, the Queen Mary ( now up for sale on the Thames).  I suppose parallels can be drawn with fishing vessels, presently functional but lacking in the looks stakes.
