nothing replaced them brill it was decided that they were too costly to operate so that was the end of them ... .... its a shame they were really incredible machines ... built in the latter part of ww2 to replace the lost ships from the attack on pearl harbour they had the first computer guided firing systems they were in and out of use from then until the early 1990s ... after the 1st gulf war the remaining iowa class battleships were decommisioned and are now floating museums in various parts of the usa ...... a friend of mine served on the uss wisconsin he told me that when they fired all those 16 inch guns at the same time , the sheer force would actually push the ship sideways in the water!!!
