Early engine rooms being notably wet and steamy, it wouldn't have been a big stretch to think of the engine crew as snipes living in the marsh. There's an 18th century complaint about engineering officers in general (I believe in the Bonnett "Price of Admiralty") that directly compares a 19th century engine room to a "snipe marsh".

The Indonesians decided they could not afford the ships and Bae were left to find another buyer. The Frigates sat in dock for over 4 years as these hatches and doors made them unacceptable to most other navies.
