Default The Battleship - 03-05-2005, 12:54 PM

I was looking through several naval websites, including the US Navy and the Royal Navy, and I was suurprised to see that battleships dont have a place in modern naval combat. I really dont see y not... Instead of prior designs it would have a vast array of defensive and offensive missles, making it far more powerful and deadly than the run of the mill destroyer and cruiser. A modern day battleship would have to be fitted out with lots of anti aircraft armaments, but besides that I dont see y theyre not in use any more. The firepower they pack could easily decimate an aircraft carrier, and even several cruiers or destroyers... Just wondering if anyobdy else knows any more about this than i do...
