after spending over $3,000,000 to get it there:
San Francisco Shuns Retired USS Iowa

The USS Iowa would have gone well with the sub already at the pier, been on it once. What a bunch of clowns they have running the show in SF..

WTF???  A slap in the face indeed.  Just need one gun from one of those 16" turrets.  IIRC, the fella at the Missouri told me one shell would leave a crater that would wipe out a football field.  And that they could put 3 shells inside said field from nearly 23 miles away.  I say they do that to City Hall in SF and do the place a favor.  A smoking crater has to be an improvement over the place now.

If you haven't been to SF lately the place is a pit. It is truely run by the inmates.
I have yo agree with StarofAfrica2's plan of action.
Seraphim hell must have just froze over. I knew I would never agree with her either.

I think the US flag would look better with only 49 stars.

easy for them to make that decision now... but had we not stopped the japanese in the pacific, SF would have been under threat of attack..

Mark the time and date.
I agree 100% with Eagler (and no, I did not lose a bet).

That is so stupid. Couldn't we have it to sit alongside HMS Belfast. All our Battle ships are gone so it would be a good insight into what they used to be like. Go on IWM buy it!

Anytime you feel like it, come visit and see the Missouri.  She's halfway restored and new sections get finished each year.  The Iowa (which that class is named for by the way, being the first) is going to need alot of work to restore before they can open any of it to the public.  I say let Stockton have the Iowa, at least they WANT her.  Better that, than sitting mothballed and maybe being used for target practice someday.  To hell with SF, they had their chance.

Kinda funny really... finestein worked tirelessly to make frisco the lefty capital of Kalifornia... and now she is complaining about them acting like lefties???? bet they feel betrayed by her..

What is really funny is her saying that "this is not the frisco I grew up in"  No ****!   The frisco she grew up in was pre fienstein and boxer commie liberal...  now she wants to return to a time before she got her hands on the place??

this is irony in the extreme... hoisted on her own petard kinda thing.

Wonder how hard it would be to just move it to...Iowa?
Which is probably where it should be anyway.

Set it up in some sort of drydock then tourists could see it in its entirety and not just above the waterline
