You may post your evidence in the NJ in Lebanon channeling thread. I'll be glad to examine them.

What I am criticizing is the apocryphal BS that proliferates in the pro-reactivation *circles* and beyond (e.g. NJ's shooting was outstanding, she missed because the politicians told her to miss and all that poo).
Regarding
USS New Jersey in Lebanon, the crew was not ready, the ship was not ready, it wasn't the right tool for the job, etc...

Check
this thread and you'll find out that I have the same criticism for apocryphal BS when it comes to aircrafts.

Oliver North is a traitor and a liar, Samuel Loring Morison is a traitor and a failed pundit, Mike Sparks is a miserable scumbag.

They don't give a damn about the Marines, that's just an excuse. They are only interested in looking like tough guys, that's why they jumped on the reactivation bandwagon (*big toys for the big boys* effect).

Reactivating BBs would NOT make their jobs easier or safer or save some lives.
At the risk of
repeating myself once again :

DOD officials from the joint staff, combatant commands, Navy, and Marine Corps do not believe that reactivating battleships would be cost effective nor would the modernized battleships significantly reduce those risks or provide the best means to meet long-term joint fires capability requirements.
