Hasn't Mitsubishi Heavy Industries learned the lesson after the AIDAprima and AIDAperla disaster? I can't believe Mitsubishi is trying to enter the European luxury passenger ship business again.

At least Japanese government learned the lesson after the MRJ disaster and scrapped the Japanese domestic fighter program, and is importing the Lockheed FB-22 from the US due to its lack of trust on Mitsubishi.
