    If anyone is interested, I have a virgin ralph coles Iowa hull. I just don't see myself getting to that any time soon. I have a rough cut 1/8" plywood deck for her and that is about as far as I got too.

    130$ + actual shipping.

    thanks
    Greg

    I will have to box it up and get real quotes on shipping it. So far the shipping estimates have been prohibitively expensive.

    HMMMM I think I may want this one..Iowa would be class 8-9 units and be allowed 23 sec speed, carry 3 tripple stern 75rd cannons, a tripple sidemount, dual sidemount, and a single large pump.
    The 3 75rd units would be a special exemption for the IOWA class.It would give the class more ammo capacity to reflect the faster rate of fire of guns over Yamato's guns. Of Course the 75 rd cannons are not limited to the stern turret. Course you could just arm it with tripple sidemounts and a dual stern cannon or any combo as long as the sidemounts do not exceed 4 firing cannons in a side quadrant.
    MMMMM I am liking this.

    I'd prefer an Alaska or a Lexington over an Iowa because everyone and their mom has an Iowa, but for the price listed and the good condition of the hull...these don't come around too often.

    Klems your right, i too would prefer to have either a battlecruise Lexington or an Alaska, then an iowa, but it is still a great ship.

    Too many projects Boomer. It is a very nice hull. I can still kick myself for selling it.
