I wonder how a battleship’s armor would handle a modern ship killer missile. The destroyers back in the 70’s through the 90’s were aluminum from the main deck up. Not too good for stopping anything.
It’d bounce off. The captain of the Missouri said as much during Gulf War I.
A battleship would shrug off almost any of the modern anti-ship missiles needing little more than a paint job afterwards. I do believe there is a supersonic carrier killer missile that the Russians developed some time ago which might be a threat, but that’s about it. Those are some serious ordinance and can only be carried by strategic bombers. I also believe the Chinese have them now.
So long as it didn’t leak it pretty much stopped water...
