When comparing a centuries old class of ships, the only fair comparison would be a head to head fight with crews of equal quality and in that scenario the Iowa class as the most technically advanced would reign supreme. I don't care how powerful or effective any class of Battleships were in their day, they aren't going to be able to beat an Iowa armed with tomahawk missiles and 21st century fire control systems.
