Battleship fanboys keep calling for them to be reactivated but the US Nave has been trying to get rid of them since the 1990s and only held 2 of them in reserve because Congress put riders in bills to force the Navy to keep them (without any funding for their upkeep).
The US battleships are never coming back into service again.

Recently read that adminstratedly the Iowa and Wisconsin have had their status changed
from museum ships to decommissioned warships.
They havent been moved from where are on display.
Aren't they too old to be reused?
