Yes, they have a long way to go.
A bit off topic, a friend is former Swedish Navy, he told me they made a US port call in NY with " the Flagship of the Swedish Navy". Apparently we were expecting a much bigger ship, since the mooring they got was for a much larger ship, He joked "we felt so inadequate..."
