Plus a bunch of 5 inch guns and can also carry Tomahawk amd Harpoon missles as we see here with the Missouri firing a Tomahawk, the first shot of the Gulf War 1.
Trumps 16 guns. By miles.
Outside of nuclear warheads, only in your dreams, does this vessel have greater destructive power than a battle ship.
The missiles have greater range.
the destroyer has limited missiles.
Most of the destroyer’s warheads carry less than a ton of HE if I’m not mistaken.
A BB can hurl HE warheads which weigh as much a a vw 26
miles all day. And the MO upgrades installed vertical launch missile tubes as well I beleive.
