Eh, this is sort of the sub-debate over what a piece of crap the Bismarck was, nothing to do with reactivating the US BBs today :-)

But I can launch an arial-launched weapon (something the size of a Mk-46) from any commercial helicopter.

Or a fishing boat. Or from many pleasure-boat-sized yachts.

Put one in a warship's screws/rudder/sternpost - No ship.
