yeah, I'd have to agree with that. Modern ships, like the Canadian Halifax class frigates are much more advanced. The Halifax's can do the same as battleships using their Bofors (I think I spelt that right) with respect to providing artillery support for seaborne assaults. They are also much faster and more manuverable than the larger, bulky battleships.
