  1. Yes, an Aegis Iowa class. New Jersey BB-62 would be redesignated as BBG-62 and become an absolute beast! One can dream, right?

  2. I'd love to hear Capt. Seaquist's remarks on handling a BB in various maneuvers and while entering or leaving port, anchoring, etc. The discussion of the hydrodynamics was fascinating, I had no idea that a ship's bow wave can have such an effect in water as deep as 100 fathoms. I'd also like to hear his ideas for how he would modernize an Iowa for returning to service. Standard missiles and Aegis radar perhaps? The Tomahawks and Phalanx guns certainly worked out in the 80s.
