In short there is nothing out there sailing the oceans of the world that would warrant us to put the Iowas back in commision. Their material condition is extremely well for their age and that is exactly why they are kept and maintained by their foundations. Now lets just say Russia put a Kirov or two back to sea on a permanent basis then such actions may warrant a refit and an upgrade for the Iowa's but only the best shall go. Until then they are only a stand by museum and show the public some interesting things about them that their tax money has paid for.
The boggie man isint out there, But if we put the Iowas back to sea then the boogie man is out there and he is US!
