A tradition going back to the RN's County class 'destroyers', and continued right though the 9,700 ton Burke Flight III 'destroyers'.... Funny, navies are always pushing classifications downward to fool the legislatures, while the media calls anything with a pop gun and a haze gray paint job a 'battleship'.... Regards, |
