lol seems like you cant counter anything just spewing butt hurt nonsense

Actually they are bringing back tomahawk cruise missiles for active anti ship duty. Any Iowa class that started reactivation today would get these upgraded versions.

not to mention any reactivated Iowa class of todays standards would most likely have additional defenses like SEARAM and radar decoys

Hmmm well if they do reactivate them hopefully they choose some kids that like loud noises and dont get startled easily.

a very lucky one.

thats funny the USS south Dakota easily ate a 550 pound bomb during the battle of Santa cruz and shot down 26 of the 40 torpedo dive bombers that attacked it and the USS Enterprise.

good analysis but hitting the turrets would not do a thing, the armor they have ranges from 19.5 inches to 8 at minimum

The Iowa class could eat those puny rounds all day...its armor was meant to shrug off 2200 pound 16 inch armor piercing shells, and with its 33 knot speed it would make up that 6 km range and send the zoomie to sleep with the fishes

“First of how, when did the Zumwalt not float, and second, despite your wailing and Lamentations, the Zumwalt is the most powerful surface combatant every built.

The Iowa has 16 harpoon and 32 Tomahawks and 4 CIWS that can actually defend the ship.

The secondary guns on the Iowa alone would turn the Zumwalt into scrap metal, the Iowa could literally just eat those puny 5 inch shells and sail to within secondary gun range...the 16 inchers would not even be needed in that fight

It was supposed to replace the firepower of the Iowa class battleships.

such delicious SALT

Awww are you angry Trump won?

haha yes

“The loss of the Musashi itself to planes launched from American aircraft carriers was a decisive blow, and proved the superiority of the carrier over the battleship.”
