But we're not fighting nation-states now. No nation-state wants to oppose us militarity because we've bombed every single one of them to dust. Also with today's PC climate, we can't lob shells at anything other than very specific targets with pin point accuracy.
I love the battleships. I would love to see them lob 16" shells at some shore installations. But the political climate is just not practical.
