Not likely.

I’ve walked the deck of the Missouri and noted the electrical cable from the wheelhouse down to the boiler room ladder.
All would need to be stripped out. It’s over 55 year old and full of sea salt.

16 inch guns are primitive and slow to reload. Missiles would carry the day against an “Iowa.”

Then, there’s the radar signature of these BBs. Can’t very well hide em from today’s satellites.

Anyway, Go Hawks !
