Did, it was copied exactly from the article. Proof positive the journalist didn't proof read, or use grammer check.

Any chance you, or anyone who might be competent in these affairs, could post a picture of one of the Iowa Class ships firing off a broadside?
In my inexpert opinion, even in the 21st Century nothing would terrorize a terrorist nation so much as a couple of the Iowas sitting a few miles offshore limbering up their main guns.

Awesome Chief, just awesome.

When my Dad was alive, I used to call him every Dec. 7th and ask him, "By the way, it's Pearl Harbor Day. What were you doing on Dec. 7, 1941?"
And he always enjoyed reminiscing how he was a student at Penn State, that he and his engineering buddies were studying when the news came over the radio. "We knew we were going to war," he'd say solemnly.

With some luck, the war into which the US was unexpectedly thrust on September 11, 2001, will end in the same unconditional victory as did the war into which we were thrust on December 7, 1941. (At least your, and my, father's generation knew that they were in a war)
To: Mr. Lucky
At least your, and my father's generation, knew that they were in a war. Yes, they were smart enough to realize that the survival of their way of life was at stake. They also had a strong sense of right and wrong (no situational ethics like today, no MSM trying to sabotage the war effort), and they were determined to right the wrong done on Dec.7,1941. Which meant that the perps had to pay with total defeat.
