When I was young I had a number of Iowa class model kits and it was nice when I first stepped aboard them, but after working about 10,000 actual hours on them I have mixed feelings. I know that if they towed one into Long Beach I still wouldn't drive the 18 miles to look at it and I sure the heck wouldn't drive 600 miles to craw over one.
