And you know they're keeping the retired battleships on "inactive standby" ... they may be floating museums today, but if the call goes out, they can have them re-fitted for service within 1 month I belive it is. :-)

You, you, you, lucky bastard, I'd do anything to ride on her (hehe, couldn't resist) but seriously, the Iowa class is my favorite battleship class ever, it's so gracefull yet deadly, you see those guns going off and you think there must be like the power of a god behind them.
Inactive Standby, sounds cool, but 1 month? Knowing current wars, it'd be over by then. Anyway I doubt there will be a conflict serious enough to warrent bringing them back into active service.
Take care Kamui, glad everything is OK after the funeral
