" You make it sound like surviving the Atomic test was a big feat."
Surviving that?
No big deal. No big deal at all.
And btw, the New York didn't just survive, she was intact.

Nope, no big deal.
A Tico or Burke would go down in minutes....if that.
You also managed to somehow ignore the fact that after surviving two atomic bomb tests(the first of which she was aimpoint for), the 27,000 Ton USS New York was towed out to sea and attacked for 8 hours by a full scale combined arms offensive before she sunk.
In comparison, the Iowas displacing 57,000+ tons are twice the size, with a better armored scheme, and with thicker armor plating throughout.
"I see you gave "worse case" INS imput only accuracy for JDAM. GPS accuracy is 13 meters and PIP have a 3 meter accuracy. They dropped JDAMs into JDAM craters to disable the Baghdad runways. Nothing says lovin like a 40ft crater."
Yeah, i was actually a bit unsure about the CEP so i looked it up and it states 3m for the latest versions in ideal conditions.
