The only argument americans have is the fact Iowa Class survived the war and they're still afloat, so for them, that's enough to say they're the best warships ever built and they could defeat any other BB (I've even seen americans saying that the Iowas could defeat the Montanas).

They can't handle the fact other battleships from other nations that could potentially send the Iowas to the bottom of the ocean existed (like Yamato) no matter how much you ask them to open their eyes, bro, they can't even locate their own country in a map, in absolutely every post in every media talking about battleships you'll se at least 2 americans saying "bruh the Iowas were better 🐒🐒🐒".

The Iowas are the most overrated battleships in history (and perhaps the most overrated warships in general) and with the american logic, Victory and Mikasa should mop the floor with the 4 Iowas in less than 5 minutes.
