  2. Hmmmm....... recycled to arm transports and smaller ships like PC`s and Subchasers. PT Crews added many nonfactory guns and mounts for firepower. You could put them ashore, but they would need different mounts.

  6.  @sarjim4381  The DDG 1000's may turn out a worse buy than the mess called the LCS. I still could refit two Iowas for the same price.

  7. At some point these so called comparisons become crystal ball watching. The crew, tactics, skills and bravery are not calculated. Just on numbers, the ME 262 Was unbeatable as a fighter plane. Reality, didn't play out that way.

  8. USN carriers did see action. Ranger was at the invasion of North Africa. Wasp did a ferry run to Malta.

  9. The decks are steel covered by teak wood. The guns can fire in any direction needed. The deck will be fine.

  10. Modern CG's would be shot to pieces if in gun range of any BB. As for rail guns? They seem more about punching holes than blowing up bunkers.

  11.  CommandoDude  With what? A CG 47 has 8 Harpoon and about the same number of TLAM's. Long punch, but not sinking a BB. Watch a Sink Ex video on YouTube to see just how much a ship can take.

  12. Not practical at all. Even the concept of modular construction does not exist. Your too far ahead of the tech and engineering.
