Today I was aboard the USS Iowa and we had a couple of Cruise ships moored directly astern, right in the path of turret #3.
Thought it was a somewhat amusing pic.

I wonder what damage those guns would do to that ship. If it were empty of course

Yep and we're finally getting our ships bell back tomorrow as well. It's been in the Iowa state house since she was decommissioned.

Well isn't that just the best thing i've heard all year. The efforts to restore the Battleship Texas are nearing goals, too.
