The battleships are obsolete for bluewater surface warfare, but they are perfect for the offshore fire support role and this is what the Marines need. I think it was a mistake to take them battleships out of active fleet status, but the Cold War was over, the USSR collapsed, and so there were alot of military cutbacks in the 1990's.

Would make scence to re comish them in light of the USN's doctrinal shift to Littoral warfare. hmmm a re emrgence the old GUNBOAT DIPLOMACY?????
