We can afford it. I remember listening to a representative from the Navy talking about the cost of a refurbishment; it was less than the cost of a destroyer, faster than any other major warship and could be used as an oiler because of the fuel stores aboard. As regards survivability, as I recall the Navy rep said it was the heaviest armored ship in the fleet. I’ll let my peers in the Navy fill us in to see if Dick Danzig ever got around to mandating that the gals get their billets in the fleet.
