You will not turn this into a thread on the utility of the battleships or I will lock it down so fast your heads will spin.

Thiel is right about the status of the spare parts however.

Big guns are the only way to properly hold down an area of ocean.

The end of the battleship era means the end of the true power of the US Navy.

So rash, I was merely explaining the reasons for the Iowa and Wisconsin being closed off to the pubic, of course they're not going back into service ( contrary to recent Hollywood proposals). Even I am knowledgable enough to know that. ;)

Unsurpassable.

Perfect balance of elan and sheer firepower.
