    Battleships are completely useless in modern warfare. Slow, easy targets, difficult to maintain.

    A certain other dictator ballocksed his whole country by demanding impractical military projects. Giant bombers when he needed fighters. Huge tanks that barely moved. Now I wonder who that was?

      Everything they do something else does better. And they don’t make it up by being some economical jack of all trades thing. Thats cruisers. It’s a wall of artillery when submarines and aircraft carriers exist.
