BB-72, USS Arizona? This seems a suitable topic for "What-If". On my first visit to the Blue Ridge website yesterday, happened upon it as a 1/700 kit offering:

Wiki has a link for it as a concept ship and indicates the possibility of it being remotely controlled by a variety of platforms, e.g., Aegis Cruiser, AWACS, etc.

What could possibly go wrong with a concept such as this? What think what-if'ers?

If the Iranians can hijack one of our UCAV's, then somebody else can hijack a remote controlled arsenal ship. Technology is no substitute for human operation.
