I'm suspecting 2.5 BILLION:hmm:. We will just concider this a good will tour! If you think about it, it is very cool they changed heading to the vessel. Probably steamed at 31 kts. Flew a helicopter or boated over to the cruise ship. Picked her up and completed surgery. One hell of a good deal knowing we can divert billions of dollars worth of equipment and 5000 men/women working it to rescue one soul on the open ocean.

We bought that ship to protect Americans, and it is doing the job it was bought to do! Thumbs up Navy! :up:
