Bring the battleships back? AGAIN!

Another nice thing about large caliber naval guns.

You can intercept missiles/aircraft/helos with other missiles, sometimes disrupt them with EW, and there's always AA/Phalanx type systems. Would any of these have the slightest effect on a 16in naval shell? AND they pack more punch then 90% of missiles!

I might trust the Iowa class weapons to be fired again. As for the USS Texas.....having visited that lovely girl, I'd not want to be anywhere near the turret that tries to fire a round from those old 14inch specials.

Yeah, PRE WW1 Era battleships are getting a bit too old to be getting frisky with their big guns.

She is a sweety though
