"Which missiles are those? Data - speed and armor-piercing ability? Every missile I've read about is no more powerful than the typical high-explosive shell, with no function for countering armor at all. Of course I'm sure there is technology I haven't heard of.
Don't get me wrong; I agree that the battleship is not remotely cost-effective in today's market, or particularly useful."

Primarily cruise missiles. though that doesn't help narrow it down since there are different variants that is of little help. The new generation of the "TASM" from what I heard from some naval friends could punch a hole through the Iowa's armor and utterly destroy it with a magazine hit.
