Back to talking about Boats, damn it.

WOuld you say that defeat in Vietnam is a direct correlation of having no(or enough) Battleship engage?

Neither side had battleships in Vietnam, and probably for good reason.  For the North, it would have been hard to get a battleship down the Ho Chi Minh Trail, and for the South it would have been hard to prevent the ship's crew from selling it to a South American dictator.

No BB engagements? Or no BB engaged during Vietnam? Or no BB's used?

Anywho the New Jersey was used during Vietnam for a short time.

Maybe if the North had built one of those ridiculous Nazi landcruisers?

If the Iowa could have been dropped from orbit onto the Ho Chi Minh Trail it would have been interesting.  Tim, discuss.

I would rather hear Ho Chi Minh discuss dropping the Iowa on Tim.

Ho Chi Minh would have noted the absurdity of lofting the Iowa to orbital altitudes and speeds, only to drop it on Tim.  A simple ballistic trajectory would be much easier and consume less of the Peoples' Republic's resources, and be just as effective.

What if they launched Tim at the Iowa instead?

That would be less of a triumph for the Party and the People, I would think.

the crew would have been infected with Tim's Aspargus syndrome.

I'd like to see a map.
