Totally OT -

I remember during the early phase of OIF, one reporter called the guided cruise missile destroyer as “Battleship”, because you know they look big, and mean, and scary. So it must be a battleship.

(Back to your original programming)

At least now they (journalists) call them “warships”.

Of course, it is a cruiser, though.
