[QUOTE="WoodsCraft, post: 4046527, member: 51836"] I remember being in the Army when Reagan made the decision to bring those battle wagons back into service as part of the 600 ship build up for the Navy. I thought it was really neat at the time , but even back then they were obsolete unknown to me. During the gulf war I know we were told later while we were busy winning the ground campaign the Wisconsin was used to bombard Iraqi positions with those 16 inch rifles and Tomahawks . I kinda wish we had kept at least one of those big boats in service if for nothing else other than the prestige of having them , still they are as obsolete as anything can be and are incredibly expensive to operate / maintain.
