Implying that somehow their attraction of tourists means something in relation to their military value.
Seems like the only one confused here is you, namvet. I understand that battleships provided gunfire support to Marines on the beach. However, that doesn't change the fact that there were plenty of other ships that could provide that support just as effectively and cheaper. I won't even get into CAS. Yes, after WW2, the battleship was obsolete.
Also I find it funny how, when confronted with facts and opposing view points, you attack my military service. Besides, how would you know if 'talk like one' if you were never a Marine? Please, don't presume to think you are one of us.
