I like the idea of Battleships. But I also recall the Battles of the Falklands. Exocet missiles and their ilk love Battleships too.

The Belgrano was a light Cruiser, and she was sunk with a torpedo. The Sheffield got hit with a missile, she was a destroyer.

There was no battleship in the Falklands War. You really in Vt? I lived in Bratt for 13 years.

If the Sheffield was a Battleship, the Exocet would have just bounced off the 8” armor. But there are battleship killers today, so your point is valid.
