"Hey!!! You got four there. Is one correct? Just kidding LOL."
They only teach us to count to three in the infantry. My humblest...
"Ive never heard these two used by anyone in 10 years of discussing reactivartion. Thank God!!! LOL Because Id probably come unglued.:
'The hull is beat'
'The boilers are shot'"
The post that i responded to was to refute exactly those two claims. Pan up and check it out.
"At least not for the two in CAT B. If you know of anyone using them tell them to look up CAT B preservation techniques and the fact that they have been in this state of preservation when not in-service starting in 1948. And have been reactivated quite nicely when needed."
Agreed 100%(probably because that's the actual truth too, lol).
"In any event no credible critic has used this as a reason against reactivation AFAIK because no other other warship is protected as well as the BB's."
Don't you remember all the 'experts' at Warships1 that made exactly that argument ad nauseum?
"The argument as I understand it revolves around: Do the 16" guns meet ALL of the requirements set forth by the USMC?"
Again, look at the post i was responding to. The poster directly said the guns performed with poor accuracy in Lebannon, when in reality, the exact opposite is true.
