The Marine Corp Practicality begged for Iowa and Wisconsin to stay on the Register of naval vessels.

But the navy said they needed a 7 Billion Dollar Toy.

You could Reactive and equip all Four Iowas for YEARS with that money.

Never under estimate the ability of the Military Brass to take a simple solution to a problem and blow it out of proportion (no pun intended)

What can the Iowa and Wisconsin do that a carrier air wing can't?

What a waste. Navy ships anymore are questionable at best when all it takes to get one out of action is a speedboat piloted by a jihadi.
