It is not often that I, a 6'4 320lb man, have occasion to feel small.

Imagine not being having the economic power to pump out the 4 best battleships the world has ever seen like it's light work, and having to compensate with "bigger is better."

These photos are the only photos I’m aware of that contain all four Iowa classes. The first two photos were taken June 7th, 1954. The bottom photo would’ve been around the same time too, can’t be certain if it’s to the day but it probably is.

The battleship USS Wisconsin (BB-64) tied up at the pier at Naval Weapon Station Earle in 1990. Ammunition would be loaded or unloaded at the pier here. At full load, the Iowa class battleships would carry about 1200 16" shells (a mixture of Armor-Piercing and High-Capacity Shells) and about 7,500 propellant charges. At maximum weight, this could be as much as 2,032 tons (4,065,000lbs) of shells and charges for the 16" guns. 1620 tons (3,240,000lbs) of shells (2,700lbs per shell) and 412.5 tons (825,000lbs) of propellant (110lbs per charge). Of course, the typical ammunition load-out weighed less in service as there was a mixture of armor-piercing and lighter high-capacity shells (weighing 1,900lbs each) carried as well as a mixture of high-capacity and reduced-charges (50.8lbs per reduced charge).

The US Navy Iowa Class battleship USS Wisconsin (commissioned in 1944) is tied up outboard of the hulk of USS Oklahoma (commissioned in 1916), at the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard, Hawaii, on 11 November 1944.
This is a great example of how battleship development has evolved in 30 years.

This works with the Japanese too, though with the battleship Yamato instead of tanks. Japanese tanks were a joke.
