“The Iowa is at the reserve fleet in Suisun Bay”The Iowa could be recommissioned on 6 month notice. The others have had large amounts of gear removed”
From the last time I had a look at her, the Iowa would probably tke a bit more than 6 months to really be ready. Not to mention repairing the one turret that was out of commission even before Iowa was placed in reserve. Her decks are a MESS, among other things, as very little has been done in the way of maintenance while she’s been laid up at Suisun.
