I thought this might make a nice lead for a Friday comment piece, but given this is the flagship in question, I suspect it's not in active use:

It'll be active, but as the article says, it's a training ship. We also have one of those (Juan Sebastian Elcano). It's where the soon-to-be naval officers learn the ropes.

You sick fucks had no problem sinking ships outside of the Exclusion Zone, so don't gimme that fuzzy wuzzyness, Lord Nelson.

You sick fucks have no problem killing civilians in Neutral Countries, so don't gimme that fuzzy wuzzyness, John Q. Drone.

There are no innocents in Neutral Countries.

In retrospect, wouldn't it have been wiser to simply nuke an Argentinian city?  I'm not saying Buenos Aires.  Withholds are an important part of a limited nuclear war.

I'm from Buenos Aires, and I say kill em all.

Most naval powers have training ships like that that are listed as active, yeah.

What Neutral country?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Pakistan is neutral?

I mean, I know the civilian Pakistanis are, but seriously?
