I know that a lone F22 could probably rape an Armada of battleships, but I wish they'd recommision them just for their awesomeness.

It could happen. I think one or two are still in inactive reserve. Like I said, they've been recommissioned a number of times- including for Korea, Vietnam, and the first Iraq war. Of course, one of the last times the Iowa's main guns were fired, it damn near blew the turret off. Some retarded leadership (mil and civ) trying to show off, and the usual screwups by the (enlisted) guys doing the grunt work.
