I’d be overjoyed to see the Wisconsin, New Jersey and, of course, Mighty Mo brought back in to service. I never thought they should have been re-de-commissioned after they were refitted in the 1980s.

The Iowa class refit had a crew of over 1800, the post war Navy couldn't afford that extravagance. You could crew 4 Ticonderoga's with that.
