There is a spare 16 inch barrel in the USS New Jersey parking lot.iowa Ain’t going back into service. She was looking pretty bad a few years ago. And the one forward turret that blew out barrel still has a plug barrel. Would not function properly without major work. Which folks probably wouldnt be able to remember how to do these days

My kind of plan.After the Vietnam War I met a veteran who was all in favor of foreign aid to the North Vietnamese. He said we could recommission all four Iowa class battleships and they could cruise up and down the Vietnamese coast sending 16" care packages all day long.
