It's funny that they didn't say *which* shipyard. It's Northrup Grumman's
Pascagoula shipyard.

And despite what the BBC article says, San Antonio class amphibious assault ships
can only handle 800 Marines, not a thousand.

On a side note, it took ships and planes over 8 hours of almost continual
bombardment to sink the last USS New York (BB-34) after she was exposed to
radioactivity during one of the Bikini atomic bomb tests.
