It was aircraft carriers that made battleships obsolete. Although Billy Mitchell showed it could be done in the 1930's it was proven decisively on December 7, 1941.

Could it be that the Army is just trying to be relevant in the long range bombardment arena? The Navy has that covered now with Tomahawk missiles and FA 18s. The Air Force has Stealth bombers and laser guided bombs. Who needs 1000 mile guns? The cost of battleships to build is enormous. The cost to operate them for such a limited role?? Too much.
