Physics: Linear thermal expansion of aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean Sea.

A steel aircraft carrier is 370m long when moving through the icy North Atlantic at a temperature of 2.0 degrees Celsius. By how much does the carrier lengthen when it is traveling in the warm Mediterranean Sea at a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius?
