WITH BASICALLY NO ARMOUR WHAT SO EVER. IN CASE WE HAVE FORGOTTEN IT TOOK OVER 400 14IN 15IN SHELLS TO SINK THE BISMARK FROM THE KRIEGSMARINE AND THERE IS STILL CONTROVERSY ABOUT THE DORSHITSIERS 3 TORPEDOES HOWEVER SEVERAL SHIPMATES OF THE RESCUED CREW FROM BISMARK SAID WE OPENED THE OUTER WATER VALVES SO WE WERE NOT CAPTURED, I TEND TO BELIEVE THEM SO TO ME THE SHIP WAS NEVER SUNK BY THE BRITISH BUT LORD IT WAS LAID WASTE BY THEM. MY POINT 2 OR 3 IOWA CLASS FAST BATTLE SHIPS EQUIPPED WITH NOW NUCLEAR POWER COULD IN THE EVENT OF A DISASTER AT SEA STAND BY THE AIR CRAFT CARRIER IN A MISSILE BARRAGE IE SIK WORMS EXCORSETS AND SHORT OF A NUCLEAR WEAPON, OOPS SPECIAL WEAPON RELEASE WITH STAND THAT AND IT COULD ITSELF CARRY PLENTY OF MISSILES SHIP TO SHIP SHIP TO AIR AND TOMAHAWKS AND THE LIKE IN ITS CAVERNOUS SPACES. AND INTO THE BORDERS OR OVER THE HORIZON THERE BIG GUNS, COULD DO THE JOB I HAVE HEARD OF MISSILES BEING SHOT DOWN BUT NEVER A BB 16 INCH OR EVEN A 5 IN SHELL BEING KNOCKED DOWN, PLUS NO OTHER COUNTRY NOT BRITISH OR RUSSIA NOR CHINA HAVE ANY ANSWER TO IT. I BELIEVE YOU CAN TAKE OUT A CARRIER WITH A FLOOD OF MISSILES WITH A BATTLE SHIP ARMORED LIKE AN IOWA CLASS WITH ITS ARMOUR EVEN IF IT JUST STOOD THERE AND TOOK SEVERAL MISSILES I WOULDN'T REALLY STOP IT. AGAIN THINK THE DAMAGE THE BISMARK TOOK THEN DEAD IN THE WATER AND DEFENSELESS JUST TOOK A POUNDING YES SIR BRING BACK THE BIG BOYS. PUT 3 ON ACTIVE DUTY, IF NOT WITH THE CARRIER BATTLE GROUP THEN AS A GROUP ONTO ITSELF. REMEMBER THAT POOR COLE INCIDENT WHERE 37 BRAVE SAILORS PERISHED ON OF THOSE BB OF IOWA WOULD HAVE JUST NEED ABOUT A QUART OF BONDO AND TWO COATS OF BATTLESHIP GREY PAINT TO GO OVER THAT. MMMM IF THEY SAY THAT AIRCRAFT CARRIERS ARE OUR PREMIER SHIP, THAT THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER CAN DO AL THE NAVIES BIDDING FOR US, WHAT ALL THE OTHER SHIPS, THE FRIGATES GUIDED MISSILE CRUISERS THE DESTROYERS.
