Ise & Hyuga were conversions, of course.

Battleships themselves are a bad idea that won't go away.

There are plenty of bad ideas that just hang around almost forever:
"reality shows", "US health care is #1!", and so on. That doesn't
mean that they are either 1) good or 2) true.

Like the proverbial bad penney! What about pennies, for that matter?

LOL! If we didn't have them, we'd have to round off to something
else. The nearest $0.05, nickel?
