[QUOTE]Originally posted by David Templar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Matrix: [qb]The Iowa class was not falling apart on the job. The ship was just too expensive for what they do. Think about it, for bombardment, they could have reactivated the Des Moines class, with their rapid fire 8' turrets. Not as much power as the Iowa's 16" but they will do the job.[/qb][/QUOTE]Some people from tha warship1 forum said differently a while back. In any case, arty bombardment is pretty pointless today, with guided munitions. The psychological effects of those 16" guns are indisputible, but accurately eliminating the target is so much better. Does the Des Moines' guns even have close to the range of the Iowas? The Iraqi coast had extensive minefields, you really don't want to ge too close. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Matrix: [qb]Consequently, the Yamato being made into a space battleship? Do they know that she is upside down and broken in half?[/qb][/QUOTE]At at the time Super Mobile Battleship Yamato was made, no, I think they only discovered the wreck later on. I think the Musashi's in better shape, though, give her the refit. :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
