I'm sure Greenpeace wouldn't exaggerate...
If this photo is the government ship spoken of, it's 1/4 the size (or smaller) than an aircraft carrier, and NOT a war ship at all. I'd guess that $30 million would pay for two years worth of sailing, rather than two months.
I do, however, think it was very nice of them to 'label' the ship for us. Rather like the little blinking red light Hollywood puts on all bombs.
Thank God there are newspapers and Internet to give us verified accurate information.
