Default A tour of the off-limit areas of BB USS Iowa

Great video with a very knowledgeable tour guide. I gringed a bit when the uploader of the video had to have port and starboard explained to him. How did he get a special tour you ask? He's buddies with the tour guides son-in-law.



Anybody interested in potential battleship duels might find this site worth checking out as well.

Very interesting to see that even the South Dakota class BB's had a fighting chance against the Yamato class due to the vastly superior fire control system of the USA compared to Japan. Provided she kept a respectable distance of course.
