SHE BRINGS THE ILL -SYMBOLIC NAME OF THE WAR MONGERING PRESIDENT R&R, ONE OF THE MOST ANACCEPTABLE PERSON TO THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY.
SHE IS A MODERN "DYNOSAURUS" OF THE SEA, CAPABLE TO BE SUNK WITHIN EVEN BY A MIDDLE RANGE MISSILE.
HOWEVER THE WORST ENEMY OF THIS SHIP IS THE BANKRUPT U.S ECONOMY, SINCE THE OPERATION OF THIS TYPE OF SHIPS IS VERY MUCH EXPENSIVE AND DESTABILIZING THE BUDGET.
FINALLY WE WISH HER GOOD CRUSES ,BUT NOT TO BE USED IN REAL OPERATIONS AND WARS.
