Odd that you should mention an Iowa class BB. In 1982, I "cruised" to Hawaii in USS New Jersey, BB-64. Our nightly entertainment was 16 inch to port broadsides. Awesome!

Someone needs to convert one of the mothballed carriers into a cruise ship!

Wow, those broadsides are impressive on TV, I can't imagine what they must be like in person.

Not to mention being on the receiving end...
