Yeah, most can say they called an ambulance. This girl can say the USS RR pulled up to handle my ills.

Now that is a story to tell her kids!

Hmm - so I paid at least $2.5 million for that surgery in tax dollars, huh? jk!

Good for them in coming to her aid!

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.

It actually is a good thing. We bought that ship to protect Americans, and it is doing the job it was bought to do! Thumbs up Navy!
