Agreed. The only people alive who know how to operate these ships are all senior citizens. The Navy is struggling to provide sufficient personnel to man its current fleet. They certainly don’t have enough to man battleships.
Delusions of the battleship boos aside, none of the Iowas are ever going to sail anywhere under their own power ever again. Regardless of clerical ‘status’ changes.
Recently read that adminstratedly the Iowa and Wisconsin have had their status changed
from museum ships to decommissioned warships.
They havent been moved from where are on display.
Aren't they too old to be reused?
