Oh baloney. Our current navy is ridiculously powerful compared to the rest of the world for the year 2018, but it would get annihilated by our War II Navy.
Really? How would our WWII Navy (and God Bless those brave and courageous souls )...
...take on a BVR attack from ALCMs, SLCMs, long range Air-Ground Ms and long range stealth attack, not to mention drones and undetectable submarines?
“Our current navy is ridiculously powerful compared to the rest of the world for the year 2018, but it would get annihilated by our War II Navy.”
So, 16in, 8in and 5in gus, along with a bunch of Grumann F6 Hellcats could sink a modern US Fleet?
Each of our DDGs has at least 50 SM-6 and/or SM-3. And all of our ships have Phalanx. And superior Radars. Hell, even the old version of the Harpoon has a 50 mile range.
And a modern Mark-48 torpedo would split the spine of any ship we had afloat in 1945.
Did I mention all our carrier aircraft can carry laser and optical guided bombs?
The only danger our current navy would face is the boredom interlude while waiting to resupply ordnance.
