Very cool. I've always wondered how it would have turn out if the two Japanese super BBs had engaged in a battle with a line of our Iowa class BBs.



Students of Naval Warfare should not neglect World War One.

Naval warfare back then was very interesting and, of course, different than WW2 naval warfare. The Battle of Jutland, for example, remains the first, last and only battle featuring long lines of opposing modern battleships blasting away at each other.

Good point. And I've always found WWI far more interesting than WWII. But let's not forget there was one final decent surface capital ship engagement during WWII. It was the last time battleships ever faced off and also the last time one fleet was able to "cross the T" of an enemy fleet.

The Battle of Surigao Strait
