Say what you will about battleships, but this latest incident with the ship named after a traitor's father has proven that the US Navy is worthless even against civilian targets like an unarmed cargo ship.

A battleship with belt armor and bulkheads 12 inches thick wouldn't have even noticed an oil tanker crashing into it.

Fuck off.

>make ships far more expensive and heavy just to slightly mitigate(maybe) the effects of a very specific type of freak accident
what >>34931507 said

If it had 12 inches of belt and a cargo ship hit it, the damage would have been catastrophic. It would have been infinitely more brittle and it could have snapped the ship in half.

You're the same as the idiots who think cars from the 1960s will protect them better in a crash than ones from now because they weigh more and were made of steel.

>>34931486
Please kill yourself for the good of all mankind. You keep throwing this shit everywhere and time after time everyone tells you why you should quit. Please stop.
>>
ironic shitposting is still shitposting and is against the rules. remember to report.

We do not need more antequated vessels in our Navy. As much as I love battleships our military already has a quite-literal overkill problem
>>
>>34931486
You assume these wrecks were accidental.
The deep state is decommissioning US Navy vessels one ship at a time.
Check both Captain's finances!

So then blame the chain of command all the way up, not your fucking imaginary saboteurs,

Stupid antifa
Sab-o-tage is not related to lawful orders

It's like you're not even trying

Antifa/deep state/leftists aren't bullshit like muh inside job or muh false flag Sandy Hook.

>>34931486
Every single ATGM currently used can penetrate any location an Iowa Class. GBU-21 will actually go completely through, Rockeye MkII's can penetrate the turret roofs.

>>34931825
Maybe not. But they are bike lock, skull cracking, violent pieces of shit. I'll take tin hat crowd over antifaggots any day of the week.

Armoured battleship gets hit by other battleship.

Sinks in 13 minutes.

>>34933345
Yeah, armor isn't structural.
>>
>>34933345
Also please note that's an 18 inch belt, not some pussy 12 inch shit.
