Fletcher class DDs served continuous from 1942 to 2002. Essex class Aircraft carriers served until 1991. Didn't have to pull them out of mothballs, they were proving their worth every day.
Iowa class BBs were good ships that did their job. Nothing more. Something I hate about the "Bring back the Battleship" crowd is the overstating the BBs history, accomplishments and their usefulness.
