All of what you said was true, however we've become sidetracked. The 
original crux of my argument was that the Bonaparte was the only ship 
capable of running away from the BvR's. Specifically when the Froggies 
were trying to disengage. 

An even more horrible thing for them to have happen would be to
disengage 
from some NSL heavies after dealing out Salvo Missles and run smack dab 
into a bunch of NAC mediums and heavies...talk about a rock and a hard 
place...
