    I’m actually really curious to see what the Navy thinks the role and function of a modern battleship should be.

    A coral reef, probably. There’s a reason battleships aren’t made anymore. Moron might as well be boasting were going to make the biggest bestest most bigliest Ironclads the world has ever seen.
