Why did the US Navy stop using battleships?
Battleships have been taken out of service because the Navy thinks they cost too much to operate and are too big, old and clumsy for being in service. A lot of people don't get why the Navy would take battleships out of service. Over the years, they have been upgraded and are now equipped with weapons such as missiles. It was proven in 1991 that battleships still play a role in the Navy. Their 16-inch guns hammered Baghdad and other cities. They are also very powerful and would be able to take a lot of damage.
