	Iowa Class: Missile Battery
		During the reactivation of the Iowa Class Battleships in the 1980’s two cruise missile systems were installed to enhance the ships modern fighting ability.
		This is an offensive missile system which gives the Iowa class a very long-range strike capability against both surface and land targets.
		Though not as dramatic as a main battery firing, the greater range of the missile allows the battleship to hit targets that would otherwise be unreachable.

		IOWA is a powerful educational medium to impart almost a quarter of this nation's history.

		The impressive battleship, with her graceful lines and powerful capabilities, will inspire potential recruits to join, while for parents that may tour the ship the Navy may develop as a serious career option for their children.
