Ibelieve it was you in the Kirov vs Iowa thread that made the point the Iowas are not equipped with Sonar, period. Even a new build would have an inherently degraded Sonar compared to a Destroyer-class, because the more noise you make the less effective your measuring equipment is.
Your claims of utter immunity to SSKs hiding in the littorals, doesn't jive with the USNs position on such matters and I think it's fair to say you greatly underestimate the capabilities of the Silent Service. Submarines, not F-22s, are the king of Stealth
So you are stating that even know the BB's carried Nixie and Toads behind them you are going to hide a sub in shallow (littorial) waters without being detected by the array or its escorts. Thats a very dangerous situation for both the BB and the sub. Think they would risk loosing a moderized sub over a downing a 65 year old ship? Do the math.
