Giver her a nuclear power plant, pull off two of the big turrets and replace then with VLS weaponry, manufacture remaining new ammunition’s for her main battery, add modern secondary batteries and CIWS....send her up and down the Taiwan Straight nonstop.

May as well also make the decks airtight and launch it into space...

I don’t know about that but do dig the fact that the Wisconsin is built like a....well...like a battleship. She could take a licking and keep on ticking, potentially packing enough surface to surface and surface to air firepower to seriously hamper Red Chinese attempt to put forces ashore in Taiwan.

But, yes, I know, it will never happen.
