About The Ship
The ship is just like any vehicle, it has to be fueled and refueled. When it is fully operated or on deployment, the ship has to refuel about every week. Refueling for the ship costs approximately $230,000.

Famous quotes containing the word ship:
“O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
