It looks like it's seen a lot of years.

That is a huge ship!

That thing looks like it's been around the world a few times! Tough and rugged. The name is kind of "in your face" though! You'd think they'd change the name so they didn't remind people of the terror that guy caused.

Glad to hear they're naming ships for the good guys. :S
