How effective would a modern Anti-Shipping missile be against an armoured warship like the USS Iowa?
The Iowa class "fast" battleships of WW2, have armor that is no longer produced. Modern missiles might not penetrate the sides of their hulls, which contain the thickest belts of armor. Today's missiles were not designed to destroy WW2 battleships. Missiles fired at those WW2 battlewagons would have to strike vertically onto the decks, called "plunging fire", striking the thinnest armor, which is the deck area. Repeated hits of plunging fire, would ultimately sink the ship. Unless the missile is a nuclear weapon, it is simply a guided self propelled battleship shell flying towards it's target; delivering the same pay-load as a standard shell; or possibly a super powerful battleshell shell...either way, a conventional (non-atomic) projectile.

What is the study of missle?
The study of missiles, often referred to as missile technology or missile engineering, encompasses the design, development, testing, and deployment of missile systems. This field includes various aspects such as aerodynamics, propulsion, guidance systems, and control mechanisms. It also involves understanding the physics and materials necessary for creating effective and reliable missile systems for military or space applications. Researchers and engineers in this domain work to improve missile performance, accuracy, and safety.
