No, no, no.  You see we think "Hey, if this can throw our commerce
raider for a loop, it can do that to anyone's commerce raiders"  So the
next Free Ukranian corsair with more balls than brains jumps a NRE
convoy would find fighters swarming out of one of the escorts.	No, for
the commerce raiding thing, we just attached some CLEs to the BCs for a
while--they could keep up.
