Even a stopped watch is right once in a while. Of course we alreAady had a
nuke surface force till the penny pinchers killed them. Same thing with
the Battleships. The Uss New Jersey should be at sea, not sitting in
Camden.


Somehow, I knew we would once again have a chance to see a statement like
that in bold vivid print demonstrating the pre-pubescent - no barely post
infantile - mindset of the poster......

You do understand that in 1917, had USS MONITOR not sunk off Hatteras and
been preserved, and some great thinker had proposed deploying her to Scapa,
Rosyth or Derry with units of the US Atlantic Fleet off to aid in ther fight
against the dastardly Huns, MONITOR would be almost a decade "younger" than
NEW JERSEY is today. It would have made just about as good sense to sail
CONSTITUTION down to Hampton Roads to engage CSS VIRGINIA. After all, she
would have been no more an antique than is NEW JERSEY today. Come to think
of it, I guess OLYMPIA could have played a key role battling kamikazes off
Okinawa, a great deal younger in a sense of actual age or relatively modern
systems than is NJ.

.....And then there's all those BTs you'll need.

It's one thing to be out of touch with reality, another indeed to be so
shockingly uninformed as to be an embarrassment to yourself and rest of us
who to date have failed to publicly brand you as a blithering idiot.
Compared to you, ray o'hara is a veritable Mahan, and ja a theologian of
impeccable credentials.
