Re: The personal Navy of PinewoodsBear is growing bigger by the years.Battleships once the pride of the Navy are now obsolete and Aircraft Ships..... have replaced them. Now? That happened during WWII - took a while for the Navy to finally retire the old battlewagons, old timers still believed they were useful - helped a bit during Korea, but by the 1st Gulf War the last one left on the water (Missouri) was pretty much just a (self)guided missile launching platform. Fired her 16 inchers a few times at Iraqi coastal positions, but risks from shore-based anti-ship missiles was too high for her to get into much action. |
