Precisely my thoughts, I believe the first Damen was supplied in c1982, not exactly a new idea. No wonder our own great shipbilders and yards have suffered. A stab in the back, as far as I can tell.
 
sleek looking vessel, as for the greatest shipbuilders in the world they killed themselves with thier union demands even Cunard went to europe for thier last ship - just refresh your memory back about 40 odd years !!
