Maybe you BB fanatics will someday learn what the US Navy learned in 1942. We don't need BBs. No battleships were authorized after WW2 started. The second pair of Iowas were delayed due to higher priorities in shipbuilding. Montana class were DoA. Forget what Meyers, Sparks and Stearman claim.

Of course many of you Pro Bbs also think the F-14 was the greatest thing since sliced bread and think the F-18 is a POS. I'm sure some of you know why CVs have a smaller but more capable airwing now than in days of old. (A-6/F-14 days)

I voted for the LCS
