The Marines regretted the retirement of the battleships. No other ship could deliver the devastating fire power of the battleship. Unfortunately, the problem with battleships is that they are extremely expensive to operate. They require a huge crew, fuel and an escort complement that equals that of a carrier. I wonder if we can return to a 10,000 ton ocean going armored platform like the Graf Spee except with one turret or even a fast monitor?
