The last class of battleship built for the United States Navy, and the absolute pinnacle of battleship technology. Originally, six were planned (USS Illinois and USS Kentucky), however due to aircraft carriers taking over the role of flagship from the battleship, both were cancelled and scrapped. Four were completed: USS Iowa (BB-61), USS New Jersey (BB-62), USS Missouri (BB-63), and USS Wisconsin (BB-64). Those four battleships, still afloat today as museums, are among the most highly decorated warships in the US Navy, and even the world, for good reason. The Iowa-class have served in WWII, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and in the Cold War against the expanded Soviet Navy.
The main armament of the Iowa-class is their 16-inch/50 caliber Mark 7 naval rifles, capable of firing a shell up to 27 miles away. They are also armed with numerous CIWS systems, 5-inch dual purpose guns as secondaries, and even Tomahawk missiles. Their armor is also impressive: It was designed to take hits from the Japanese Yamato-class battleships, which fired 18.1-inch shells, so you can imagine how tough it is. As said above, all are currently museum ships, but at least two are ready to be recommissioned at any time the US needs these gunships.

''Pft, the Iowa-class battleship would annihilate the Yamato-class any day! Based American FCS over optical sights!''
''Erm, you do know that the Yamato-class also had radar, right?''
''Yes, but not the radar American ships had!''

Bullet time battles aka BTB’s are a class trial minigame in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc.
They’re the most difficult minigame and don’t require much logic. You play a BTB by locking onto an opponents argument then shooting it to destroy it.

Get the Fortnite Battle Royale mug.The newest edition of the completely awesome Battlefield Series. It is fun, HOWEVER, since the previous def. was written before release...certain events have happened that YOU the reader should know about.
Since the release, the BF community has been filled up with complete idiots. Now, I'm not saying everyone is, all you homies from 1942 rock! But the fags from Counter Strike and Unreal Tournament decided to give BF2 a go and are really bringing the BF community down.
The ranking system that everyone creamed their pants over when they heard about it is retarded. It was supposed to increase teamwork. Yeah..right! Since all the geeks get an erection over badges, they go do rambo shit and ruin any chances of teamwork.
AND NOW, The folk$$$$$ over at EA are releasing booster packs, or I should say boo$$$$ter packs. Why in the holy shit would yo get this nonsense? Haven't you ever heard of MODS. Forgotten Hope 2, Point of Existence 2, Desert Conflict anyone? And don't give me, "EA's stuff is made by pro's and is more polised.." BULLSHIT, they had to recall a fucking patch..and most vehicles and weapons don't feel right at all compared to mods..yeah they sure are pros. And anyone with an Elementary School education can realize that Forgotten Hope for BF1942 was MUCH MORE polished, and ALOT MORE fun that vanilla BF1942.
The 1.2 patch does sound somewhat promising, but we all know that patches in the Battlefield series are either godsends, or the spawn of satan.
Well, there ya have it. Your healthy dose of the happenings in the Battlefield 2 community as of 1/11/06. Happy gaming!
