NO TO BATTLESHIP

Why does Norfolk need an old battleship at Nauticus?

It's just something more that taxpayers will have to support in the future.

As we can see, Nauticus isn't self-supporting. With all the layoffs and business and government closings, who's going to be able to afford such things?

Wake up, Virginians, and say no to the Iowa.
