No No No, what I was saying was, the Iowa Class have been involved in every American War except for our current War on Terror.

All Four Iowa's served in Korea.

Only New Jersey Served in Vietnam.

Then New Jersey served again in Lebanon.

Finally Wisconsin and Missouri fought in the Gulf.

Iowa hasn't fired her guns in anger since Korea, but that is beside the point.

The Point is that our current "destroyers" (everything is a destroyer now a days, that really grinds my gears) are a bunch of think skinned missile boxes filled with Chinese made crap just waiting to go "boom" once they are hit.
