Gee lets rehash this idea for the umpteenth time

Sure those 16in shells would be cheaper if we produced enough.

How are they in the CAP role? Oh thats right they just hit the ground and go boom. Unlike a aircraft that can accomplish many missions

Whats the bring back capacity of those 16in rounds? Oh wait, you cannot call them back, update or change targets during flight. Theres another one for a carrier and its planes.

I would continue, but its more fun than I've alloted myself for the evening. At least by myself. The son is staying at his Aunts house tonight
