The return of the Battleship?
Recently, I read on Yahoo! news that the USN had succsessfully test fired a rail gun. This will likely have a lsting impact on the current plan to build the DD(X) destroyers and on the maintience for the current fleet of US destroyers and cruisers, but I am interested in knowing if the succsessfull test firing of a rail gun may hearld a return for the long dormant battleship. Since battleships of the modern age have guns triple the size of a standard cruiser or destroyer there is no doubt that they would be more destructive, but would it be worth modernizing the Iowa class battleships to carry such weapons, or dusting off plans for the old Montana-class battleships or Super Yamatos and reconsidering there role in a navy if equiped with rail guns?
I doubt it. From my understanding of the physical dimensions of the rail guns that they are contemplating using, they won't require a vessel with the sheer size of a battleship. They'll be able to do it with much smaller vessels.
From the link below, the dimensions of the gun being tested is only about 10 meters. The primary limitations at this time are related to the limited life-span of the barrels, good for only 3 or 4 shots. Advances in materials will probably give better reliability.
Other than that, capacitors are still be a bit of a problem. I'm assuming that they'll iron out those problems as they go along. The output of a ship's power plant seems to be more than adequate for the needs, especially if it is nuclear powered.
