Whoever wrote this wouldn’t know a Battleship from crabbing skiff.

There are no more Battleships, except those on display as museum pieces at various places in the world.

Maybe their last job was picking out images for the Democrat National Convention backdrops.

FIFY. And to note: I'm not counting Mikasa in Japan as a "battleship" because she's a pre-dreadnought. Although it's admittedly a debatable point.

The last British Battleship was HMS Vanguard. Which was truly an excellent ship. Shame the Brits didn't keep her in mothballs; she could have been modernized and reactivated in the 1980s just like the Iowas were.
