Likewise any ship without an air CAP is in trouble. It is just that the BB probably has far more surviveability than most. Historically, the BBs have been able to soak up fantastic amounts of punishment. personally, I think we are missing a bet here. There are times when we do need to do close-in support, and a BB is much better than any of our other ships for this purpose. Also much better. The psychological element of a BB shouldn't be discounted either.

Maybe we should go all the way with them, and put in reactors in them. Put some Harriers on board, (the new f-22 when it comes out) for a personal air CAP and light offensive missions and I think that you end up with a unique and powerful weapon.
