| #5 A very important command and control ship that will probably be sunk by an iranian "fast boat" because the suits at the Pentagone won't let it defend itself. |

| #4 With her Tachyon communications suite, the Whitney can advise the Fleet on events which haven't happened yet. Interesting to have this capability at the gateway to the Black Sea. |
