I think too, one of the really beautiful things about an Iowa-class is that she can be self-supporting to her battlegroup. She can be a combination tanker and tender with her prodigous bunkerage and extensive machine shops. Just as in the 80's, a BBBG is the perfect way to maintain a more-than-credible presence without having to send in a CVBG with what? Triple the manpower requirements and maintance (the airwing)?
