I'm here at the USS Iowa. It's an absolute cluster. Talked to people waiting in line to get aboard, and they said they have been waiting for an hour and still are not on board. Food and beer options appear pretty limited also.
USS IOWA
- Thread starter vgshwk
- Start date
Update -- USS Iowa is at capacity, Fire Marshall not letting anyone on board until others leave the ship.
That's what 386 aircraft loaded with bombs and torpedoes will do. The Yamato's fate was sealed from the time it left harbor. It was a suicide mission with only fuel enough for a one way trip.
Waiting to board the ship, was told it will take us about 2.5h to get aboard. At least the weather is gorgeous and the company is great!
Was just told by one of the workers that none of its armament has been decommissioned. All they need is the ammo to fire the 16s! They won't, of course, but it's pretty interesting. If I understood him correctly, it's the only one of the Iowa-class ships to not be decommissioned.

Yeah, if they lit those 16" 50 calibers off at the ship's current location, they'd probably shatter every window within a 1 mile radius, lol!
i just read that. sent to be beached at okinawa and defend the island. did she even make it? what i read was pretty ambiguous as too where she was sunk.
Those big guns only reached about 24 miles while planes reached hundreds of miles. Those huge ships ran out of time.
