Actually the Iowa was used mainly for its AA role for fleet support, their main guns where used very little, but when they where they devistating. Infact the Jersey broke from her carrier group to provide assistants to another fleet which engaged the ****** fleet sent to take them out. When "Big J" Showed up the battle switched in favor of the US as the Jersey's guns helped in sinking the ****** fleet. The Iowa wasn't really a full fledge BB like the Bismark, or Yamamoto, they where Fast Battleships the quickest battleships ever built. This is why I had started building a design of these ships for a reintroduction into the Mass Effect Universe.

During WW2, battleships were still somewhat useful. When aircraft started carrying anti-ship missiles, they became nearly useless for anything save shore bombardment. My point was that the rise of airpower made the line-of-sight engagements battleships were designed for effectively meaningless, which is true.  Carrier-based aircraft and submarines took over the role of ship-killing.

Now, as much as I love the subject, this really isn't the place for a discussion on battleship warfare.  Back to Tali?

EDIT: TopTali:

Then I support your current title.  If you're not satisfied with that one, the chapter title "Darkness on the Ship of Light" would also seem to work.

Well, i wikied it last year when I did a history essay on battleship warfare.  Does that count?

Nope!  You win!

The Iowa class BBs must have been boring for such an essay, seeing as they were nothing but mobile gun platforms for shore bombardment and (later) missile launchers.

You know that Is not a bad idea, I was reading the  Codex entries and the Alliances likes  Carriers  faster battle ships more so then the large Dreadnaught class ships which the Alliance fleet only has 8 of each named after a Mountain on Earth,   Fuji, Kilamonjaruo, Everest,.   The frigates are named after  major battles  example the Normandy and in my Story its Sister ship the Mdiway.  I think the carriers would be named after world Leaders  Presidents and Prime Ministers, the Cruisers   my guess would  Cities and the Battleships would be Countries and/or  States

Hey, I already "got" Lia.  Thats a +1 for my Quarian count.

I'm calling the police. <_<

I smiled, --for what had I to fear? I bade the police welcome. The shriek, I said, was my own in a dream. Lia, I mentioned, was absent in the country. I took my visitors all over the house. I bade them search --search well. I led them, at length, to her chamber. I showed them her treasures, secure, undisturbed. In the enthusiasm of my confidence, I brought chairs into the room, and desired them here to rest from their fatigues, while I myself, in the wild audacity of my perfect triumph, placed my own seat upon the very spot beneath which she lay, bound and gagged.

You and me both.

Granted I wouldn't be stalking Legion as much, but the basic point holds true.

Well, if you did, we'd have to get into a fist-fight.

No, no. It's cool. You can keep Legion. I'll be busy stalking Tali. And if not her than Garrus. And if not him than Thane. So we're good.

I approve of your reference to the master.

Edit:  Maybe I need a Poe avatar, too?

Hell, just taking the elevator down to Deck 4 would be a challenge for me...

I'm just as subtle as the train wreck I rode in on.

Actually, I am pretty sneaky.. even when I don't mean to be. I'm always accidentally sneaking up on my mom and scaring the crap out of her

I'm always being sneaky when I'm not trying to. That's so fun.

Random question: how do you get the custom avatars? Cause I still have no idea what this thing is in mine.

Was it possible they heard
not? Almighty God! -- no, no? They heard! --
they suspected! -- they KNEW! -- they were making
a mockery of my horror! -- this I thought, and this
I think. But anything was better than this agony!
Anything was more tolerable than this derision! I
could bear those hypocritical smiles no longer! I
felt that I must scream or die! -- and now -- again
-- hark! louder! louder! louder! LOUDER! --

"Villains!" I shrieked, "dissemble no more! I
admit the deed! -- tear up the planks! -- here, here!
-- it is the beating of his hideous heart!"
