I don't know where you guys get this idea that cruise missiles are poor against armor. Especially the Harpoon, which doesn't give a rat's ass about your armor belt when pops up and slams down into your deck.

There's no point for her to have a modern armament like cruise missiles or Phalanx CIWS. This is a game about WW2 boats, and by the time things like that came along, Iowa was a Cold War boat.
