Obama: "I'm ready to negotiate with you, Iran." Iran: "Fuck you."

Actually you have it backwards. Israel was first in demonstrating the power and versatility of drones. The only America exception may have been a drone used by Missouri class battleships to help target their 18 inch guns.

Yes, Israel used drones to get the anti-aircraft positions to reveal themselves in the 6 day war.

Eighteen-inch guns?? Missouri class???

I keep telling you, tw: copyedit, copyedit.

The name ship of the class was the IOWA (BB-61), you nonGoogling good example of a bad example! Your carelessness outside your specialty (about which you do not write) keeps your credibility in the negative numbers. And never, ever, do you clean up your act. Standards in your writing? Either you have none, or you leave them too low.

I'll leave you the chance to discover the actual size of the Iowa class' main battery on your own.

It's actually pretty fun. Battleships have an ominous yet undeniable beauty to them, like a fighter plane or a naked sword.
