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

[Commander Wallace]

Awesome video and tour of the Iowa. Really interesting material here. I liked the second link showing the comparison between the various Battleships.

Thanks for posting the links and material.

Yes, those comparisons are pretty interesting although, of course all pretty hypothetical seeing as one-on-one engagements were pretty rare. I don't know if you clicked on any of the blue numbers in the detailed information section? Some great stuff mentioned there that contributed to his comparisons.

That site, btw, is just one small part of the main website set-up about the Japanese navy during WW2. I believe by one of the co-authors of "Shattered Sword". Here's the main site and I know I spent quite a number of hours on it when I first stumbled across it. Tons of very interesting material that's for sure:
