Ever since the Introduction of the Battlecruiser, The Admirals Just couldn't resit putting those big ships with their big Guns in the Battleline.

And Every single time with Disastrous Results going up against a Real Battleship.

Jutland

Hood V.S. Bismark

Kirishima V.S. Washington.

Scharnhorst V.S. Duke of York.

Too Lightly Armored to Trade Blows with a Battleship.

Though, I am sure our Modern Admirals have learned nothing from history though.

The Germans knew how to build BCs that didn’t blow up and could trade shots with BBs.
Even the Scharnhorst, a wimp even by BC standards, had to be torpedoed repeatedly to sink it.
