I was wondering about this for sometime… what if there is a need for the Iowas to return, I wondering what will become of the U.S.S. Missouri BB63 namesake and her number. Since the name is now on a sub. Would they have to rename the sub or the battleship?
I would think the navy would have to rename the sub since the Missouri has a long history as a battleship. But if they had to rename the battleship, I would name her U.S.S. Kentucky or Montana.
