The USS Iowa (BB-61) design was a fast, heavily armed, and armored battleship, the lead ship of its class, built for speed (over 30 knots) to counter Japanese fast battleships while carrying powerful 16-inch guns and extensive anti-aircraft defenses, fitting the Panamax canal dimensions, and evolving from WWII needs to become a fast-attack platform with modern missiles during the Cold War refits. - WarThunder #reel #reels #reelsinstagram #reelitfeelit #reelkarofeelkaro | Ships & Models by Erick
