Black & Decker Waffle Iron
Your typical 120-volt waffle-maker.
Estimated weight is a couple of pounds.
Makes a batch of
four fluffy, golden brown waffles in minutes. Yummy.
Using the proper evidence and support, you may argue for/against either one succeeding in whatever situation you choose to present.
Have fun, and may the best machine win!!!

The Battleship fires any or all of its weapons and destroys the waffle iron.
Battleship wins.

The battleship runs over the waffle iron and it procedes to chop it up in its screws.

The Missouri has been decomissioned. The waffle iron is still in use. GG, waffle iron.

The Missouri's kitchens can outproduce that puny waffle iron. While the iron only makes waffles, the Missouri can make salads, steaks, soup, and cookies.

This is a serrious debate; just as serrious as, say, that old "Skynet vs Middle Earth" thread, or some of the other ones goin on.
Anywho, as for my $.03?
The waffle iron makes scrumptious waffles, and can be used conveniently in the home. The Missouri's galley is too large to utilize in a residential situation. Black & Decker wins this round.
So, does anyone want to argue that you can sink/sabotage the Missouri using a 3-pound aluminum waffle iron?

This should be in the Trek vs. Wars forum, after all, it's a pretty perfect analogy for the chance a GCS has against an ISD

I was going to put it in SLaM, but I didn't want to specifically limit the discussion to purely technical aspects.

I would say the Battleship. One of her cooks from the gallery could use a screw driver to take the waffle iron apart.

Waffle Iron retails for $63.95. Missouri is worth millions, at the least. Waffle-Iron is more economically feasible. Waffle iron wins.

Which have several blades warped and pitted by the impacts. This caused massive vibrations, breaking the shaft seals and damaging the turbines and reduction gears. The chain reaction wipes out ΒΌ of the vessels power train and floods several compartments.
