The news reported that the Missouri shelled Iraq, and not many shells
were reported.  Then it was reported as replaced by the Wisconsin, and
today I read that the Missouri is back.  Is there some feature of
battleships that limits the number that can be fired or limits the
time the battleship can spend in the place from which it fires?
