That ship represents a great America that we need today. President Reagan realized that and used it to inspire respect and admiration to us and among nations. As a symbol it still inspires me, today’s technology has left it far behind but in its day it was a marvel. The mechanical computers for fire control were incredible.
With you there.
I wish the US could afford an armored, fast, big gun platform today. Something like Big Mo, or any of the Iowa's, would be a statement at every port call. With new weapons tech, it is possible to build on that can defend against missile attack, torpedo and mine, and deliver 16" ordinance more than 100 klicks or rockets more than 1,000!
Just dreaming!
