I think the reporter meant to say ‘warship’ and not battleship.

If the writer is really young and not a student of history, or a watcher of the History Channel 😉, he or she might have used battleship for a generic term for warship, not really knowing what a battleship was. Battleships are or course, quite obsolete.

I differ with you on the opinion about battleships being obsolete. Perhaps World War Two era battleships are obsolete and I’ll agree. But the role of a battleship in a modern naval fleet isn’t quite yet obsolete any more than destroyers, frigates, corvettes, gunboats, and submarines are obsolete.

I am not an naval architect and will not speculate on what a modern battleship would look like, how it would be armed, and etc. but the experience of the Gulf War should demonstrate that there is yet a place for a big gun capital ship in a modern navy.

I also think a modern battleship would be pretty damned cool !
