OK I give up. I said FOR THE SAKE OF THIS TOTALLY UNREALISTIC THREAD, the Kirov has to close in to Iowa to destroy her. It's a THUNDERDOME fight. Two men enter, one man leaves. There is no running away in this thread.

Iowa carries around 1200 16" shells, from this thread:

Largest Iowa ammo load?

Plus undetermined number of 5" shells.
