Could the Iowa class battleships be reactivated and returned to active service? Would modernizing the Iowa class battleships be a good idea or a waste of resources. What would it take? How would it work? And is it even worth doing? Find the answers in this fascinating "what if" hypothetical naval history of the Iowa Class ships. The USS New Jersey BB-62, the USS Iowa BB-61, the USS Wisconsin BB-64 and the USS Missouri BB-63 are discussed in detail in this full length documentary that explores the concept of the "600 Ship Navy" and the Mothball Fleet. What would it take to reactivate these ships today? This video answers the question: is such a thing even possible today.
