Daryl Caudle remarked at the event,“In this coming year, this crew of proud American sailors will put this warship to sea and carry the name ‘Iowa’ to the far-flung corners of the globe projecting combat power for decades to come. It is the fearless warriors before me that turn this piece of metal weighing almost 8,000 tons (7,257,478 kilograms) – with hundreds of miles of fiber, cable, and piping systems – into a combat ship, a warship designed to decisively win our nation’s battles. Your preparation and execution to get this ship to commissioning day is nothing short of amazing.”In this video, Defense Updates analyzes what makes USS Iowa a very destructive platform?#defenseupdates #ussiowa #usnavy Chapters:0:00 TITLE00:11 INTRODUCTION01:13 SPONSORSHIP – NordVPN01:47 USS IOWA OVERVIEW02:48 USS IOWA CAPABILITIES 07:01 ANALYSIS
