Iroquois is also the name of the UH-1, that most people know as "Huey".

Its still been launched and if need be could be made combat ready straight away. If it was still in production I would agree with you.

LOL, I just looked it up, we have 3 Destroyers!!!!

and no Battleships.

But we have lots of brokendown Sea Kings.



And FYI, the Iroquois is now classified as an air defence destroyer following a retrofit from its anti submarine roll in the 1990s.

They're not. They're buying American. Traitors, they should be buying British although the Arleigh Burke Class is probably better than the Sheffield class destroyer. Purely down to it's abilty to launch tomahawks, which I can imagine being very handy.

It isn't even complete yet. The ship has been launched but the funnels, masts, and radars among other systems have not been installed yet.

Right now the Arleigh Burke class is considered to be, ton for ton, the most powerful warship in history. However, that will change when the British Type 45 is commissioned. The Type 45 even has surround sound and Ipod docks!

As for this poll, the Iroquois class seems to be getting a lot of votes, but realistically it is nowhere near the power of the Arleigh Burke class or Sheffield class. The Kongō class is simply a modified Arleigh Burke class.
