They are still valuable assets in this fight.
Lets see, in the War on Terror they could shell...Basra? That's only several hundred miles from the Sunni Triangle.
And let me know when you figure out how to get Wisconsin and Iowa to Afghanistan.

There is precisely 0% chance of their ever being back IN commission, too. This is basically a moot debate. Oh, well -- since you say so!
OKAY, EVERYBODY, YOU CAN GO HOME. STRATEGERIST SAYS THE DEBATE'S OVER.
Yeah, right.

Too much money. Priority lower than his Park Avenue tax cuts.

For a strategerist you haven't spent much time looking at a globe lately. The Marines operate 7 MEU's and can be at the scene of almost any conflict and be in the fight within days if not hours. Almost every nation in the world is accessible from the sea.
The numbers they are talking about to upgrade the ships are small potatoes in the big scheme of things.

Have Livermore Labs dig a new canal using thermonuclear explosives?

By Cruise Missle.. A battle wagon could be a bodacious cruise missle platform.. for many different kinds of cruise missles.. even launching mother cruise missle carriers releasing baby cruises as into the theater as needed.. guided by maybe a Predator.. You know, we need a VTOL Predator.. it could operate as a WACs or a command module.. properly fitted..
Actually a battle wagon could be a stand alone intimitator.. as useful as a carrier.. as a matter of face all cruise missles should be VTO.. and ancillary CM helpers should be VTOL..
