BBG-21: USS New Jersey & Wisconsin ARMORED Aircraft Battleships--not VPFX TIN CANS

The USN offered to keep 2x Iowas on duty if the USMC gave them the man-slots which the latter wimped out doing. We can do without some foot sloggers that can't amphibiously land due to a lack of landing zone clearance fires.

The vulnerable TIN CAN, USN needs heavily armored "Iowa" class battleships that can withstand PDM direct hits modified with ski jumps in back to operate F-35B/C fighter bombers by VTOL/STOBAR and deploy MECHANDOs in M113A4 Super Gavin light tanks inside CH-53K King Stallion heavy lift helicopters into LZs cleared by 16" gun terrain firepower saturation and Lightning II PDMs taking out enemy strong points to evict anti-ship missile (ASM) terrorists firing on civilian cargo ships--like the Houthis. REAL WORLD NEEDS not devils pretending to be aliens in a Hollywood SCI-Fi movie.
