In case of the Iowas, after the Gulf War experience, some changes to the Phase II varianrs are to be expected especially regarding the effects of the 16" cannons and the new sensor equipent. The USS New Jersey was scheduled for BBV Harrier reconstruction in the Phase II programme, Iowa's 2nd turret being damaged might be a good reason for the AEGIS Phase II conversion creating basically a proto-Arsenal ship. The 2 other Iowas might be considered only for a moderate Phase II refit as the marines demand a strong fire support task force.Some of the FSS - Fire Support Ship - studies might be chosen for construction as well.
