AEGIS was concept proven for use on BB's in the 80's.

It was to be installed on one by 1992, but they were taken out of service before it could be fitted.

There is also a new 5" round that has a range of 90 nautical miles(Not ERGM), and a flight velocity of Mach 4+.

I agree....the BB's should come back.
