The original comment was in reference to the support of amphibious
operations 
- yes I'd rather have the support of the 16" guns until I pass out of
there 
range limitations, then I will be happy to call upon MLRS. gun tubes, 
mortars, VTOL's and conventional aircraft RPV's and Point guided
munitions. 
By the way all you need is a laser designator and the 16" rounds are
just as 
guidable as the Army's Copperheaad rounds.
