I read somewhere on this site that the four Iowa class battleships had been activated just like IRL.
I was thinking about the USS Alabama, USS Massachussets, and the USS North Carolina. IF things get really squirley, wouldn't the govt reach for ANYTHING that floats and has weapons? If any of those ships needed something rebuilt, I think the Navy dept has all of the specs from WWII when these mighty ships were built. Just my mind drifting down a different path. |

Yes, once the majority of current naval shipping was on the bottom, the military would probably start scrounging around for whatever was available. However, with most of the older vessels being little more than rusted out hulks, it may not be worth the time and effort to conduct major works. It's likely that any modifications/upgrades would consist of little more than slapping a few anti-air guns and missiles onto existing civilian craft.
By Christmas 1997 the world is in bad shape. Nukes were first used by the Soviets on the 9th of July 1997 (in both China and Europe - both 1.0 and 2.0/2.2). This would undoubtedly have caused world wide panic as the reports of nuclear escalation rolled in across the news services. Many skilled workers, required to operate the shipyards, will have "run for the hills". Some would trickle back in the coming months, but never enough to satisfy demand and even keep up with repairs on existing warships. And then there was the escalation. Version 2.0/2.2 states: Quote:

Howling Wilderness has this: Quote:
While not specifically stated anywhere in V1.0, it is therefore not unreasonable to assume some limited strikes were made against US soil prior to the 28th of November 1997. These limited, even surgical attacks would have inflicted damage far beyond their actual physical effects by driving away people from potential target areas and keeping them away. Bear in mind too that the last fleet of US/NATO warships were not sunk until approximately 3 weeks (sometime in June 1997) before the first nuke was used anywhere in the world. It is doubtful, as mentioned here http://forum.juhlin.com/showthread.php?t=2462 that there'd have been any significant headway made into even organising a search for potential warships to rebuild before the panic really set in. One more thing. With no effective enemy naval forces anywhere in the world, what would be the driving force behind such a huge undertaking? Where is the benefit versus cost?
