Has anyone read any of the Iowa books like Glimpse of Hell or any of the ship condition reports back in the 80's? From reading some of the excerpts that are around, I was shocked at the reported condition of Iowa from the get go, i.e., not completely repaired, etc. From what I have read, she was put into service before she was ready and never fully repaired during her last service.
Never given the same level of support as her sisters, "sunk" in war games with our allies navies. If you have read the same type of things and were involved with Iowa and know the true story of her last service, I think that would be interesting to read. Was she an "accident waiting to happen" all along?
