"Too bad they mothballed the USS Missouri, a cannon platform that could reduce these islands to shore rubble in 3 days....."

I have been to the Missouri...the people that take care of her (many retired Navy vets) told me that the Missouri could have a head of steam and be battle ready in very short order. Matter of weeks, they say.

I wish they would get her ready. Soon we will have to anchor a ship off those islands to insist on Japanese sovereignty, and there would be none batter that a battle wagon like the USS Missouri. Every time the Chi Coms send some one ashore, a volley or two would send them running. With a carrier group on station to assure air superiority, it would work like a charm.
