Please note I do not propose independent operation of battleships. Not to mention the crew had been ordered to get drunk the night before. It's crew had become horridly unskilled at AA operations as training was not kept up. The Japanese believed in a "final battle" strategy and the Yamato was saved for some gigantic end all battle that never happened. Carriers have it bet in over the horizon fire and accuracy however if you need to shell a beach for Marines a 16 inch gun can't be beat!Įdit: Also Yamato only sortied ONCE in the last year of the war. In one instance South Dakota put up so much AA that the carrier it was escorting signaled her to see if they had a deck fire.Īnd lets not forget that a battleship is actually a more cost affective explosive delivery platform. I agree that the notion of battleships as battle wagons fighting other battleships is long gone, but thick armor as well as a nest of 5 inch, 40mm, and 20mm guns made them excellent AA platforms. In fact on several occasion battleships were key to the survival of the aircraft carriers. America was one of the exceptions and lost no battleships after Pearl harbor. Must other nations in the war didn't sufficiently arm their battleships against air threats.
