Also joining this is an option http://thdf.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:32066 though really it was nothing more then a experiment to see if I could replace the need for actualal community when the supply runs short. After all, one of the reasons they don't use battleships anymore, they require more crew then the navy can recruit in a year.

That and their slow, over kill for modern warfare, more expensive then and worth less then an aircraft carrier, and are a easy target that dew to lack of maneuverability rely to much on AA guns to stay safe from avoiding taking hits, and people prefer crews missiles over large ballistic cannons these days. But aside from being over and kill expensive, lack of ability to crew them.
