Alternetively you can read the arpeggio of Blue steel manga, she might just appear there sooner or later. |
Alright then... So no modernization for the Iowas. But they should still have their combat experience. Considering that their actual ships are still around to this day, but as Museum ships.
But they would still be some of the "newest" battleships at the time. And they should be thankful for aircraft carriers; because they practically cancelled the construction of the
Montana-class battleships. They were supposed to suped-up versions of the Iowas, with the intent of countering Yamato. The designs were done, the US Navy got the approval to construct them but their keels were not even laid. If those were constructed and hit the water... Uh-oh.
But as for Missouri, I wouldn't be surprised if it has something to do with her involvement in officially ending WWII.
