"The "City of" prefix was added before its 1983 commissioning to clarify that the ship is meant to honor the city, in response to Catholic politicians who protested against naming a warship using Latin words which translate to "Body of Christ."

to withdraw from an international nuclear treaty.

I see Russia currently very much in the ascendancy.

I think the answer lies in this true story told to me by a friend who attended a neighbour's funeral a couple of years back

Another neighbour, who is a local worthy and parish councillor and who has to involve himself in local events whenever he can as a steward or supervisor... had insisted on being in charge of the CD player for the requested music after the service

When the pall-bearers came and lifted the casket there was a sudden loud crackling from the back of the chapel and a voice boomed out: "WAR!! (huh... yeah...) What is it GOOD for? (Absolutely nothin')"
