I still think it needs some 10 inch guns—just for tradition and for fighting pirates.
But I am with you in spirit. If we had real ships, e.g. a coupla old-fashioned heavy cruisers, and real scary guns, there would be no such town as Benghazi or Tripoli, among many other fly-blown Muslim hangouts within 20 miles of a beach.
BTW, how about modernizing the New Jersey with an all Lesbo crew. That would show the Friendly Sons of Muhammed (May Peace be Upon Him) what we really think of Worthy Oriental Gentlemen.
