How might a SoDak or an Iowa fare against such threats as an Exocet, the same missle that mashed HMS Sheffield durig the Falklands Islands conflict in 1982? I am of the opinion that it would take numerous hits from such missiles to render a BB combat ineffective...

More relevant would be a comparison of the Nelson and Maryland: these ships were truly contemporary, and when they were finished battleships were not yet relicts.
So rather than that intermiable debate over Iowa and Vanguard, how does Nelson and Maryland compare and contrast?
