"The second and third ships in the six-ship order - HMS Dauntless, Diamond, Defender, Dragon and Duncan - are already being built." ...DRAGON! sweet, id love to be able to say i serve on the dragon lol
When it meant the most powerful ship, it would have most specificly in its own context - the royal navy. A aegis class in the us navy is the bomb in warship tech(a decade plus tech), so much so that the chinese goverment are trying its best to workaround the us weapon sale ban to get it. Besides were not even talking about the many aircraft carriers in the us navy, each with its own battle group, able to wage war independently anywhere. not plugging the americans here but the worlds oldest standing navy has alot of catch up to play before they call the greatest in whatever. In retrospect, it is worth noting that even bigassed elephants are scared of rats. The question to ask is which corner would people get their quickies in a 'gender neutral' ship. aint no enterprise nop
"Typical Brits - trying to fool themselves into thinking they are still important and a military force. Totally pathetic."People like you dont realise that the UK is the only 'real' country that supports the USA in its actions.

I thinks it's cool. Sailors deserve a little down time after their watch. Can't all ipods except the shuffle charge through a dock connection?
