The belief that the progression of naval engineering will, over time, degrade the aesthetic appeal and qualities of the design of a ship.
The term references the Surveyor of the Royal Navy, Robert Seppings, who put forward radical changes in sailing ship design across the fleet improving their seaworthiness and general durability. His changes were notoriously unpopular among naval authorities of the period as they strayed away from traditional naval architecture. His philosophies were continued, eventually leading to the development of iron-hulled ships.

Get the Masturbaitor's Curse mug.The Putin curse is very much like the famed "Assad curse". The Putin curse is when a country or leader does something to negatively affect Russia but it actually negatively affects them. Most commonly used in the war in Ukraine when many media articles said russia would run out of manpower and ammo while in reality Ukraine was running out of manpower and ammo. Also, when numerous countries sanctioned Russia it bit the countries in the ass.
"Bro look at this media article saying Russia will run out of ammo in 2 weeks" month later "Bro look at this media article saying Ukraine is running out of ammo, must be the Putin curse"
