Does the CG(X) program count?
It's cheaper than a missile or airstrike and doesn't carry as much risk of losing expensive equipment and trained personnel like a crashed jet might (that one incident with the Iowa's turret notwithstanding).Are the 16 guns still viable against anything thats a real peer target that you can't hit with plenty of other stuff, like aircraft? By the 80s is the Iowa main hot war weapons, not the ABLs that could be on a DDG just as easily, with the 16" more for use on 2nd rate targets?
