Why not park the Iowa off the coast and lob them all into San Francisco?

I don't see any point in wasting perfectly good ammunition.

To all
hey out to refit at least 2 (yes hey are expensive to maintain, the is a better expenditure of money then most government projects!

Leave the 16 inchers on, maybe modernize the 5 inchers put on a few Vulcan chain guns then cover the deck with cruise missiles launchers.

Nothing says from Uncle with love like a shell that's weighs more then a Volkswagen!

Also that armor probably could take a hit from any number of nonnuclear cruise missiles and not scratch the paint. I doubt if these missiles have amour piercing warheads of sufficient strength

Wasting? There's nothing else that shoots 16" ammunition. It would be a waste to have it decommissioned unused.
