USS Iowa - Welcome to Los Angeles 

No wonder President Roosevelt took her for a spin

@@generaljimmies3429 Gribrdyfifwxyif really

That’s probably why they built 2

Lonefighter11 they planned 6 and made 4

Unlike her fat bulky rivals, she was made to be fast. Thats why shes so elegant.

French Battleships Richelieu and Jean Bart were scrapped because the French had no money to keep them and because Battleships are Obsolete

@@KatyushaLauncher Completely agree with you and it is a shame, because it was magnificent, a real floating fortress.

still waiting for the shima torps to blow this thing up..

ships are "she" not "he" Im certain

@@skdoodleee Grober kurfurst and bismark are considered he’s everything else are she’s

*she* *

Funny

imagine if the uss montana had been built the uss montana was the improved and big and heavy version of history imagine this wing next to the iowa

@@josemarinnarro112 it might not fit on the Panama canal as the Iowa bb61 was built to fit on the panana canal channel as my dad sailed on here then , they made it smaller to fit

my dad was first on her ,he saw the shell hit the Iowa bb61 came from shore , captain said all those on that side go over to the other side, then they moved further out and bombed the island. he said he could see the 16 inch shells fly away

Yes really nice ship, but I wish that Yamato or at least even nagato could have survived the war, I really like nagato also.

World of Warships has the tier 10 Montana

Many ships like the 4 Iowa classes are decommissioned but every once and a while they commission them back up for short periods of time they are useful to bombard beaches and such they are not permanently put to sleep :)

They are still in service but not at the front lines in case of emergency the ships are always ready to fight

don flora Glad to hear it.

zilla11547 Does that mean they are truly dead for ever?

zilla11547 Sad, very sad. There may come a time in the not too distant future when Washington regrets that. I'm thinking of ISIL/ISIS.

you got history of 300 years?try well over a thousand,,you have been watching under seige aint ya

Yeah,the 4000 gold permanent camo is the way to go.

dont forget to use at least 10 capt level

Don't judge the mighty uss iowa

😂😂😂

Dude you have compared between game and real life Not just saying that in the chat!

I agree.....to reactivate these ships would cost a hell lot of money. To integrate modern systems into a 60+ year old hull would be mind boggling.....

+Bewok Hensem they would kill everything tho

More like they would BE killed by everything. the 16 inch guns are useless in modern naval warfare. The max range is only 22-6 miles.

$2 billion, 1-2 years.

There aren't too many ASMs that can defeat the 12"-17" of Class A armor. They would be a lot more survivable than a Burke or CVN. The 16" gun range is actually more than 30 miles. 36 miles I believe with HE shells. The range was extended by new munitions but never put into service since the turret explosion happened and they were all decommissioned within 3 years. The guns wouldn't be used for ship to ship anyway.

Yeah kinda funny how the Yamamoto was taken out by a destroyer if I'm not mistaken. Serious David v Goliath right there.

The Yamato was sunk by Aircraft using torpedoes.

toasty mcgeee can you spell?

Wave yeah it would remind the generations to come how humanity was dangerous when provoked ,dangers of war but lastly ...the technological marvel of these war machines ... Imagine this .. Japan saved musashi German completed the fer de grose but did not participate Usa with iowa Amazing :F

for some reason, when i think Yamamoto i think aircraft had been involved but it was specifically a ship launched torpedo that was credited as dealing most of the damage that then caused the ship to sink.

She didn’t do much though. A true legend is the bismarck

@Athiest Nihilist not iowa but look at new Jersey chief and after ww2 Missouri and new Jersey saw a shit tone of action

@@snooprocker Cry

@@snooprocker averof did far more

@@snooprocker too bad she's sunk to the bottom of the sea

It would've been too cost prohibitive to bring the New Jersey and Iowa up to modern standards

If they did we probably would have lost the war

Jaden Desveaux 1 battleship against a fleet????

Bismarck survived a day being attacked by the RAF and British fleet yamato was destroyed a butt raped in 2 hours so which is stronger????

+zach earwood Bismarck's crew was largely more respectable, however do realize that Bismarck was really technologically behind the US and Royal Navies. Heck, the french Richelieu was considerably more powerful. Yamato was a great design on paper, but the guns were inaccurate and her AA ineffective. Bismarck was really flawed from the start, going with her wide beam.

Yh

Exactly what I was thinking 💭

Confucius said the same thing

to be honest, I think the Iowa and Missouri should be the two never to see Combat again. Missouri, because of her important mission of watching over the wreck of the Arizona and her fallen crewmembers entombed in her, and the Iowa due to the damage to her #2 turret, when it exploded during a test firing.

@[AP-STUDENT] Ralph Joshua Penaroyo shut up wehraboo

Thank you for your service

ilike even this is old but this is also legendary ship the can protect protect the people around the world who wants lving in god for better..

English can you talk of the please?

Mike Fusco My dad served on a destroyer in the Atlantic and a PT Boat in the Pacific. He said they would yell up at the guys on the Battleships and Aircraft carrier s. How do you guys like that shore duty!!!! He never once talked about the hell they went through buy he told the funny stories. He said a Jap submarine shit a torpedo at them on the PT. It came from nowhere but it was set deep and went under the PT. Thank Goodness! Thank you for your service. I wish my dad was still here.

San Pedro, to be exact.

....lol

Andre K. You are just a sack of fun, you know that?

***** Thx dude, I guess it's better than sack of your know what :) ....watching now newest Gerald Celente....cannot get any worst :) race to the bottom

The Missouri was in the 1st gulf War too. Im not sure but I think the Missouri actually fired the 1st shots when she fired her cruise missles.

wheels wisconsin fired the first and last shots of that war. First cruise missile and last battleship fired in anger ever there's actually a video of her doing it too.

She's close enough but yeah, would be nice for both ships to be together.

More like better off in Iowa

fuck off you already have the Midway let LA have something

"One last escort" *eagle screech*

I was there when the USS Midway came in...Dad was an Island Hopper in WWII...

YEP ! SHE'S A BIG GIRL

look at the size of yamato & musashi, back into 1940~

892 feet long

Dominik Weber oh look! It’s one of these Japanese webs who can’t appreciate American battleships.... Smh..

The Big J performed some great duty in Nam. I was stationed in Da Nang in 1969...we could here those big 16" guns firing..what a magnificent sound. Those guns could fire 25 miles...accurately.

Short answer: yes

and how would it get there

@@gamingwithcali823 By a Mississippi...

@@generalposlijebitke6688 is it consistently wide and deep enough for the Iowa? If so that would be awesome, I'm glad that my state has our ship, USS North Carolina

@@gamingwithcali823 Found this... Edward Street Answered March 6, 2019 The average depth of the Mississippi River between Saint Paul and Saint Louis is between 9 and 12 feet (2.7-3.7 m) deep, the deepest part being Lake Pepin, which averages 20-32 feet (6-10 m) deep and has a maximum depth of 60 feet (18 m). Between Saint Louis, Missouri, where the Missouri River joins and Cairo, Illinois, the depth averages 30 feet (9 m). Below Cairo, where the Ohio River joins, the depth averages 50-100 feet (15-30 m) deep. The deepest part of the river is in New Orleans, where it reaches 200 feet (61 m) deep. Mississippi River - Wikipedia Navigating bends might be a problem. Bridge clearance might also be a problem. Personally I think the danger of straying out of the channel would prohibit it. Draft of the USS Iowa is listed as 36 feet 2 inches standard or 37 feet 9 inches loaded. So while the river is deep enough for most of the way, one has to wonder why would it take such a journey. Make it a museum ship at Dubuque? To late for that.

Gaming with Cali one piece at a time

Don't know why a lot of people are dissing the sailing vessels. It shows you the contrast between the Iowa and the ''minnows'' (plus you also get a little variety at the same time).🙂🙂🙂

It's a marvel of navel engineering, anybody who likes ships would feel awe seeing the Iowa's.

POWER Arrrr Arrrrr!

Trivia-Owing to the cancellation of the Montana-class battleships, Iowa is the last lead ship of any class of United States battleships and was the only ship of her class to serve in the Atlantic Ocean during World War II. During World War II, she carried President Franklin D. Roosevelt across the Atlantic to Mers El Kébir, Algeria, en route to a conference of vital importance in 1943 in Tehran with Prime Minister Winston Churchill of the United Kingdom and Joseph Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union. She also served as the Third Fleet flagship, flying Admiral William F. Halsey's flag at the Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay. During the Korean War, Iowa was involved in raids on the North Korean coast. She was reactivated in 1984 as part of the 600-ship Navy plan and operated in both the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets to counter the recently expanded Soviet Navy. Iowa was decommissioned for the last time in October 1990 after 19 total years of active service. wikipedia

lol. that would be so destructive

Royal navy will shit their pants

@@maswiryy because of the fuel?? Just use a nuclear reactor, then it could travel for 80 yrs

It would literraly ram them and they would get absolute *REKT*

At that rate no need for the shell to be armed. Just the sheer mass of it would cripple the Burke

you can use it to support ground troops

There could be times when offshore artillery support are needed, and this is when Iowa class comes in handy. For modern warfare concern the Iowa class ships are refitted with Phalanx and Harpoon

+Flop Flip aeinm

Matthew Day we have aircraft for that and its much more precise

James Jenson you mean Billy Mitchell not the man who bombed Japan

Please Stuff Obama

k Get some gunpower and sailors..

They're actually RIFLES, not 'cannons!"

So, how did it go? 👀

Roby Miller Land targets and slow vessels such as naval tankers and supply ships.

That is what submarines and tomahawk cruise missiles are for.

They brought them out to handle things aircraft and the smaller ships, with 3 or 5" pop guns and tomato soup can armor, couldn't handle. I believe some of the conflicts after the Gulf War would have required them.

kempmt1 None required them. Carriers and aircraft are more than adequate.

With the new Railguns that BAE and the USN are developing and testing they could go after anything and the railgun barrels are half the length of the Mighty Mo's original 66ft ones.Imagine what a Iowa class Battleship could do with 12 Railguns that could shoot anything down,Bombard anything on land and sink anything afloat with near unlimited range would be like?

yeah

Yamatoooo !

@@Apex-tk7xs Bismaaaarck

It's guns are useless and are outranged by man portable satellite guided missiles, it's armor is pointless and actually increases the damage done by modern anti ship missiles and torpedoes. There's a reason why armor was basically abandoned. It's pointless or outright counter productive. See the sinking of General Belgrano.

They still have USS new Jersey

@@ismadanish8480 That's a submarine.

@@autiovaa5255 Boy, use your Brain and Googel. The name USS New Jersey was given to a battleship of the Iowa Class before they could even dream of this submarine.

@@wosisndes6721 There is also a submarine called USS New Jersey, SSN-796.

@@autiovaa5255 I know, but i just wanted to say that this name was given to more than one ship.

Iowa was actually the first of the last American battleships.

Not ship "battleship"
