  • america project naval power ! thats ok with me fine your our allies .. you forgot however that america also destroys its own historical monuments with crappy music :)

  • lol poster is such a faggot, i read the comments he keeps up above that he THINKS make his look like internet tough guys, but in reality his faggy music choice shows us how gay he is.

  • My Grandfather was on that ship he was a old school bad ass

  • Dude.... I can look at photos of this ship on google any time ,and I can hear crappy music at any stoplight if i roll my windows down. What a waste of time.

  • @vonjager Happy Holidays to you as well. Thanks for your comment, and I also Thank all 112.000+ views of my video. A special thanks to "vonjager," for keeping score. What are the most views of your videos vonjager, I dare not say.

    Hmm, vonjager, aren't you the same guy that said the discovery of electricity and the invention of the telephone is a waste of time? Oh sorry, I confused you with the naysayers.

  • @ComputerCleanRoom Hey man...fuck that dude...I have been a battleship geek since childhood and I appreciate your posting this video.

  • @ComputerCleanRoom An officer and a gentleman.

  • @ComputerCleanRoom You brag about having a lot of views, but arent they all because you are just fooling people with your shitty slideshow into thinking it is a real video?

  • That ship has some very serious firepower.

  • 0:19 "surrrender"

  • I understand there is consideration to bring these battleships back into action using electromagnetic rail gun technology. The 16" guns would have a range of around 300 nautical miles and fire at 8 times the speed of sound.

  • Ok first what is a railgun ive heard of it alot and second i know they expertimented with a 16 inch mk14 sabot which had a range of 137 miles

  • cmpunkfan14: you mean the famous picture of that kamikaze zero about to hit missouri ? well that cool :) if one wants to see the pic, then just type 'kamikaze uss missouri' to google and you WILL find that picture for sure ;)

    impressive pic i must say..

  • Please explain what you mean?

  • @RangersAirsoft Lol what?

  • @RangersAirsoft They are the same class. Both Iowa class BB's.

  • Yeah but they fitted anti missle systems to this big bitch (Radar Gatling Guns)

  • my great grand father took the picture of the plane hitting the boat

  • What an awesome battleship!

  • Actually, when they were recommissioned in the'80s, it was said it would take at least 5 Soviet "Styx" SSMs to sink an Iowa class BB.

  • A new USS Missouri will be coming online in the US Navy in the near future. It will be one of the new Virginia class attack submarines.

  • If the Bismark took all the punishment it took from the Brits in the air....do you really think a missile could penetrate the 16in thick armour on the superstructure of this ship? I know it wouldn't penetrate the hull belt armour.

  • Im sure the Iraqis said the same thing in Desert Storm, only to later be seen waving white flags at the goddamn observation UAVs cause they knew 16" gun salvos was coming next. Yes...an army battalion surrendering to a battleship says a lot about the fear factor of these elder gun platforms.

  • What is the music being played?

  • The music is a score from some generic music software that I purchased from a computer store.

    Sorry, can't remember the name.

  • hehe ok , thanks anyway ;)

  • nothing really says FUCK YOU !!!!! like the big battle ships... The real reason why they will never be brought back,, is the intense amount of fear that they cause.. So let's revisit the facts,,, all of you little pussies... No mater where these battle wagons go.. They simply overwhelm and kick ass.. They were never designed to back down..

  • um fear is good so why would you remove fear?

    its the cost of upkeep stupid

  • ya and their too big, and nobody needs big ships anymore they just shoot rockets

  • "chrthiel"...your stupid, thats enough said. 16 in guns dont really do damage? thats was the UN said they were to dangerous, and america decommisioned. the guns can make an island dissapear..

  • the sailors who sweated loading the 16 inch guns would really like the music you used with this video...not

  • I went on the Mighty Mo' (mainly because it plays a prominent role in Metal Gear Solid 4, where it is fictionally recommissioned in the future), and boy, I would've shit bricks if I knew I was facing THAT!

  • Les japonais ont signés la capitulation à bord de ce vaisseau. Fabuleux

  • I know I'm inviting a major shitstorm her, but here I go anyway.

    They will never be recommissioned, and thank god for it. They're ludicrously expensive to maintain, have a very narrow mission profile and doesn't even do that all that well and they don't have a snowballs chance in hell of surviving anything even resembling serious opposition. (Seriously, four Phalanx CIWS and zilch else! And contrary to popular belief, modern Anti-Ship missiles has plenty of phew-phew to incapasitate a BB.)

  • they where reactivated in 91 to bombard Iraq

  • Nope, they were recommissioned in the 1980ies because doing so was the fastest way to get a lot of Tomahawks and Harpoons to sea. Their guns had very little to do with it. Indeed, they were the first things that would have been cut if the modernization ran into cost overruns.

  • I have to agree

    they also make one fine museum!

    and I also think they used them in iraq as more of a status symbol they werent really needed

    and 91 is along time ago, theyre not coming back

  • That's because you understand Mahon's concept of "Seapower". It's not the ship, it's the ability to control a large portion of sea scape. The carriers do that better then any surface ship. The subs promise revenge, but because they must be hidden to work well, they don't project seapower the way a carrier does. I love the "Big Mo" but her day in the sun has passed.

  • The money needed to reactivate and upgrade all 4 Iowas to future standard is less than what it costs to build a single destroyer. The US navy is braindead if they can't see what fantastic canvases the BBs are for placing on some of the best equipment and deadliest firepower in the world.

  • they removed because they would be really weak against carriers

    in ww2 the order of strongest ships was carriers THEN battleships

    a battleship cant shoot what it cant see right? think of the yammy...largest battleship ever...destroyed by aircraft. even with aa guns its still hard to shoot down planes

    now in the jet age it will be almost impossible

  • The Yamato was lost due to the lack of Air cover available to the Japanese Navy at that stage of the conflict. It held off attacks from 400 aircraft, being hit by 10 torpoedoes and 7 bombs before sinking due to a munitions explosion. I would regard that as an immense accomplishment. Give a modern day battleship the latest CIWS, SAM and Railgun technology, and the electronics and detection equipment in a space many times that of the of size a tiny jet, and it would be an unstoppable force.

  • i doubt that

  • WOW, that's a pretty bold thing to say. I have gone to the liberty of justifying my point, yet you clearly can't be arsed to do likewise. You are a waste of my time.

  • nobody told you to type a long response

    and i also just dont like to argue with people

  • i had a chance to visit and walk on the Miss before the Gulf War when she was at Puget Sound in Washington .. before being re-commisioned, that was intense!.. still have a few photos, also visited the USS Massachusettes quite a few times at Battleship Cove in Fall River Mass. un believable the size of these monsters, i'm 6'1 and standing next to a shell is almost my full height

  • lols signed it on the ship.

    *looks up and sees big 16inch gun pointing at him*

    NOW SIGN IT!

  • Japanese surrrrrrenderrrrrrr :D

  • Epic Fail on Music

  • @Fl1pZOmG Epic fail on unnecessary capitalization.

  • Look it up on wikipedia I'm pretty sure you'll find something there.

  • yes dumbass

  • Comment removed

  • I was on the Missouri during the Gulf War. I would love to work on it as a volunteer.
