I have been in the nc when I lived in charlotte.  this is funny, you would think it was a huge ship but it was actually pretty small (ok not a vw size).  hard to imagine how 2000 men lived and worked on it.  it sure had lots of guns on board.

it had Nine 16-inch/45 caliber guns; twenty 5-inch/38 caliber guns; sixty 40mm Bofors guns; forty-eight 20mm guns

It's amazing how heavy those things had to be and still floated.  I understand how it works but still boggles the mind to think about all that steel, ammo, people, fuel, oil, etc on top of those.

Japanese task group, Yamato class, late war configuration, Takao class heavy cruiser in front and following, screened by four to six Akizuki class destroyers.

While it is true that the Iowa class is superior, we have a huge overabundance of US equipment in AH.  It would be very nice to get a Japanese task group.  The task group I described above would still be a hugely powerful force in AH.
