Re: Bring the battleships back? AGAIN!
I was told (i.e. may well be a Sea Story [i.e. total B.S.]) that during Desert Storm an Iraqi Corps HQ was located in a school complex in Kuwait City. They didn't want to use bombs because of the risk of hitting nearby friendly civilian structures. So the USS Missouri took it's time aiming and waiting for just the right sea conditions then dropped one 16in shell on the complex.
End of Iraqi Corps HQ.
