“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.
Apparently DesertRhino never saw the movie The Final Countdown.
