Oh I am aware of it went back into service after $1/4 billion repair. It was a new ship by the time in effect with everything that needed to be done and it was 18 months out of service. It was destroyed by a $200 boat with C4. Next time they wouldn't get that close but next time they may be using something else like lots of RPGs or something a bit bigger.

My comment directed at the view that UK MOD should spent £1 billion on a ship to project power a $200 piece of armament takes it out.
