Oh look, it's Iowa MacArthur

That's the closest image

And yes I read Badass of the Week.

Obviously it should be "Iowa-san has returned" ? :P

Iowa the sailorman!

Well, she did earn a Philippine Liberation Medal and Philippine Presidential Unit Citation for her role in the Battle of Leyte Gulf, so it makes sense.

I'd like to think that Nagato felt awfully silly for getting all wound up over this newcomer =3

But seriously, Iowa, no love for your old sea dogs?

I'd say that Vice Admiral Willis A. Lee, a medal-winning Olympic shooter, Rear Admiral on the Washington when it pummelled Ayanami and Kirishima, commander of ALL battleships in the Pacific, and one of the loudest voices against leaving Samar effectively unguarded (Halsey was damn lucky that the ships there fought as hard as they did and the Japanese fleet was not more aggressive) was kind of a big name.
