USN during WW2 doing the most American thing ever

Which one in particular? Because the four Iowa's were not only the most powerful battleships in the US Navy, but they were the fastest in the world.

The most famous being the USS Arizona being the most powerful in its class but didn't even get to fire a single shot

Oh yeah, it got the old Bismarck treatment in Pearl Harbor. But, the Nevada kept it alive for a short while in the war by rescuing some of her sailors and bombarding the Pacific coastlines with her barrels.

I was referring to the North Carolina-class, the South Dakota-class, and the Iowa-class, the USN's 10 fast battleships, all armed with 9 16 in guns, and many secondaries and AA guns, especially by the end of the war
