[QUOTE=InvaderNouga;34655350]Are you trying to argue with me? I'm in the Navy for goodness sake. Cruisers are not new Battleships they have a different job to do than them which is why they're CG not BB. I'm thinking some people think battleship means any war fighting ship, that is not the case. Battleships were their own type of ship designated BB. Maybe you're trying to compare the battleship to a destroyer?[/QUOTE] So how do their jobs differ again? Pretty sure guided missile cruisers do exactly the same stuff that battleships did. Long range bombardment of surface targets. Cruisers just happen to also have other jobs. This does not preclude them from fulfilling the role of the battleship.

You need to get closer.

i think its too wordy of a name, USS Giffords sounds better imo same with other ships like the USS Ronald Reagan, i think it would be better off as the USS Reagan. Ships don't need full names.
