I just got a look at the 90-91 Jane's Fighting Ships, and in the
USA section, under the Iowas, there is mention that the battleships
are now carrying Israeli RPVs. Could someone send me some details
on the vehicles, and what are their projected uses?
Also, is there any plan now as to what the Navy is going to do
with the homeporting idea now that the two battleships are going
back into mothballs?  (Opinion: mothballing them is a dumb idea.)
Thanks for the info.
