Happy Thanksgiving!

I started listing all the stuff i am thankful for but decided that was a boring and useless post. Instead I wanna post about something near and dear to my heart. The battleship. Yes i know that the US Army doesn't have battleships, but its still an issue i feel strongly about. The US currently has ZERO battleships in service and it amazes me. I realize that they are not the capital ships that they used to be but still they have enourmous potential. Go here to see an article about it:

Why Battleships Rule

In addition to the information that is persented in the article, here is another tidbit of information. The disaster that struck the Cole several years ago, would have been shrugged off by an Iowa class battleship. The belt armor on the side would easily have withstood the damage of the blast and no one would have died. As a support vessel it is invaluable. It can also be easily fitted with sets of tomahawk cruise missle or other weapon systems. They have a massive amount of armor as to shurg off many attacks that would be fatal to other modern ships. Their standard weapons systems can fire out over 100 miles currently and can be upgraded to hundreds. They can fire faster and drop far more ordinance than any other ship in the navy's arsenal. To not have these ships would put a severe constraint on the Navy in any large scale conflict. In the history of the world, the easiest way to lose a war, is to believe it will never be fought.
