That moment when aside from Iowa likely being capable of "seeing" and beading the enemy in the night, she can strike first although there's this wariness that launching a Tomahawk in the night is giving away your position despite being too far away to be retaliated.

Shouldn't matter too much. From those distances, even if they did find out where you were, at 33 knots, you will be someplace else once they arrive.

But that had to be Missouri or Wisconsin as Iowa was already stood down after the turret explosion in 89 and didn't fire a Tomahawk in Desert Storm.

Really. What navy did Saddam have during Desert Storm? None. Really doubt any of the Iowa Class Battleships had anything to worry about. Only problem. Like pointed out. USS Iowa was badly damaged after an accident. She was never fitted for tomahawk launchers. Now her sister ships were and boy they rained hell down miles away out at sea. Hope they add her sisters in. Though just hope they don't give Missouri a smug personality. Be a bit insulting. As she is a Missouri Girl and she show you how to get things done. (Totally 100% bias remark being a Missouri raised and lived.)

Missouri will be the Haruna of the Iowas.
