Jason Apuzzo says the newly released movie "Battleship" capsized at the box office. It did, bit I liked the movie a whole lot as I am and always have been a big fan of battleships ever since I saw my first one, the USS North Carolina. I have seen "Battleship" on FX several times and have the DVD.
It was great that none of the new digital weapons or ships could stop the aliens, but bring that old "Mighty Mo" back and that did the trick, especially with part of the crew being our World War II veterans.
My brother and I used to argue a lot about which was better, aircraft carriers or battleships. I, of course, went with battleships even though I knew a battleship would be no match for a carrier's planes.
Our battleships, especially the last four were the most striking looking warships ever built.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
