I have to admit that it is awful tempting to haul out those big guns once again but I am no so sure that it is the best option. Perhaps it would be better to develop so high explosive missiles with cheap, simple quidance systmes that could be fired from Ticonderoga class cruisers or Arleigh Burke class destroyers.

The battleships are probably the simplest warships left in the fleet because they were built on 1940's technology. On more modern ships, there is nothing simple. Everything requires lots of values and numbers to be plugged in.
