Question for Dick and Co:
Scenario: Conventional global war.
President orders immediate 'wartime emergency' reactivation of 2 'mobilization assets'.
Most normal peacetime safety restrictions and any relevant union work rules that would impede construction, and blah, blah, blah can be overrode.
I need a rough time estimate to activate 1 or both Iowas to:
1) Ferry troops/transport: No armament/sensors but restored Phalanx CIWS, skeleton crew only.
2) Limited original combat capability with 16" guns and Phalanx only(5" guns unmanned, most sensor systems non-restored)
3) Operational to 1991 standards at time of reitrement.
Thanx. :)
