Never said, and either never tought about implying that, believe me.
At the same time, a Vietnam-War New Jersey or a 1980s Iowa (or either Wisconsin or Missouri) might be free to be drawn, That was what i thought and meant in my post, sorry for not being clear.. (Paul 2011 did a 1980s Iowa. Yet, being New Jersey, she looked visibly different from her sisters because of her Vietnam-War service).

I like the two paint schemes. I remember a quote in Walter Lord's "The Good Years" about the famous cruise around the world where when the fleet returned the ships were repainted "in a stern, businesslike grey."

LOL when I saw the title of this post I thought "Why the hell would some noob try to redraw the Iowa, its already been done." Great work DP keep em coming!

Excellent work DP!
Nice to see a different Iowa for a change. At least no-one is going to kitbash this drawing with 200+VLS missiles and AEGIS and Polaris!
