Given the damage sustained by USN Aegis "cruiser" PORT ROYAL by a "soft" grounding..........will this almost new ffg be worth repair??

Any news on the PORT ROYAL yet Dennisdesigneraccd wrote: ↑Thu Nov 08, 2018 3:04 pm As of now, 25% of Norway's Aegis force: collided with a tanker after recent Trident exercise, in a fjord....At least there was some quick thinking to ground her; given the SIZE of that gash.

Will follow this with great interest![]()
