I'm not a naval weapons system expert by any means, particularly with all the new high powered gadgets and missiles, but in IMHO, I would love to see the Battleships Missouri, Iowa, and Wisconsin(?) reactivated, for this so called war on terror.

Battleships are great - I used to be a huge advocate of reactivation, but have slowly come around to the conclusion that they are fairly limited in capability compared to what has entered the force in the last 10 years (GPS weapons like JDAM). Given an equivilant amount of resources, I'd rather invest in more carrier aircraft and long-range bombers.
