To: 1 x 7 Twist...

I was stationed aboard a ship ported in Boston, back in the day. It was determined that this ship would be better home ported in Newport, RI. This ship was a reserve training Destroyer with a small crew. The total cost of moving this ships homeport and crew’s families south by a few hundred miles was something in access of 16 million. That was back in 1974, you can only imagine what it would cost today.

Gee, wonder what it will cost this carrier to relocate?
