- I can see no justification for tagging the article as original research or POV as it stands - it currently says: 

 :::Amongst the competitors of the Iowa class in the WWII era were the Japanese Yamato-class, the single late war British battleship HMS Vanguard, and the French Richelieu-class, which were all more or less comparable in terms of armament, fire control, armour, and range. Their true rival, however, was the aircraft carrier, which proved its title as the most important naval vessel during World War II naval battles in the Pacific. 

 ::What is original reasearch or POV about that?  Are you seriously suggesting that a WWI-era Chilean battleship is comparable to the Yamato or Musashi?
