the 747 ain't to a far fetched idea, I mean the US has tested launching an ICBM out of the back of a C5 so putting a similar contraption in a C17 or C5 with several Cruise missiles aint that different.....

Imagine that 747 dressed as regular passenger airliner flying a regular route near the airspace of somebody you didn't like...

Note that, as the Iowas already had four funnels trunked into two, to trunk that further into a single funnel would've been massive.

Looks more like the Tennessee/California/West Virginia and South Dakota meets Iowa.

IIRC didnt they use the Illinois's bow to repair the iowa after it accidentally rammed a destroyer?

Google it, I think you will find that bow was from the incomplete hull of USS Kentucky - the remainder of which wasn't scrapped till 1958.

Cheers
