Ultimate tow?

USS Missouri being towed from Oregon to Pearl Harbor, HI.

The Mighty Mo.  I always wondered why didn't they just steam her there under her own power.. the oil operated boilers and turbines (power turbines if you will) and shafts are still on her.

Gotta love the Iowa class battleships.

I thought I read something about bringing back Battleships? Maybe I dreamed it up.

 

A Railgun armed battleship could cut a carrier in half from out of sight.

The whole concept of railguns is insanely awesome.

We had the pleasure of touring the Mighty Mo.  Some awesome history!

Seems the Chinese already testing operational railgun, fires projectiles at 1.6 miles per SECOND, 124 miles range, I doubt that the Ageis systems could responds fast enough, I wonder if we would need to take a shoot first approach in a Cold War situation.

Then again, might not even have a chance, judging by the range on these.
