Dont contributers here get bored with around a third of the threads here being about the Iowas and almost ALL the threads being hijacked by discussions about them somewhere or other.
The Iowas were 4 Battleships of one class comissioned at a time when the battleship had been superceded by the Aircraft Carrier. And its not like they had ever engaged an opposite number in combat either unlike many others from both world wars and earlier. There were around 200+ battleships in around 70 different other classes from around the world and from a period where they mattered far more thats just the Dreadnaughts. The pre Dreads were even more numerous and often more interesting too.
Why I drift away from this forum for long periods tends to be the sheer scale of yawnsome stuff on these ships regurgitated over and over again.:(
Why not just call it the Iowas Forum instead and be done with it because the way this forum looks you'd think no other battleship class had ever existed
