What exactly do you think those Iowas could do in this day and age?
Aside from waste manpower and not be a player in the current conflicts.

They can do the same thing lots of other Naval ships do now. They were capable of launching Tomahawk missiles to ranges of 7 or 800 miles. I know it is a unrealistic thought, but these old girls have earned a place on active duty in my opinion if for no other reason than nostalgia. With most the unsophisticated enemies we have now they could serve very well. I have read every thread here in BB forum, and do know the pros and cons of reactivation, as well of the monumental cost involved. I am just a lover of the Battleships, and would love to see them in all their glory.
