Easier to change the men, than the equipment.

True, but they never had one fail.

Majestic indeed! On her decks ended the last war we fought because it had to be done, the last war we had the will to win, and the last war in which we still had a solid grip on who we really are--neither warmongers nor cowards, neither bullies nor victims, and a people who in spite of internal differences of opinion still lived as one nation.

As for the room, the bottom line is that the more interior volume you have, the more weight in armor you need to protect it or else the more armor you are going to give up to stretch it to fit without going past a practical weight, and also that additional weight would compete with armament and propulsion. That said, our battleships were more spacious internally than were British, French, German, or Italian battleships.

Good to watch.

At 6 minutes in, they're talking about using the RPV (remote piloted vehicle) to recon for the guns.
They followed a truck that was dropping food off at Iraqi bunkers.
The RPV plotted the location of the bunkers, the guns then let the hurt in.

Maybe Dave or someone should start a Battleship thread.


I know I've thought about starting a thread on how steel is made. Sort of a "guns, in the beginning" thing.
