I agree, but I would put two battleships on the seas. Their armor is impossible to match today. They can launch any number of missiles, as Reagan and Lehman proved. And those 16 inch rifles are so cool.
They are limited and noisy, but they also represent pride and technological accomplishment.
I'm OK with two. :-) I read you about the armor, though I wouldn't say it is impossible. If we wanted to, we could armor a ship far better. The problem is that we don't want to, for some reason.
The true irony, is that the big battleships are far better able to deal with any of the modern threats of missiles and torpedoes than any ship we have afloat. A modern Exocet or two will reduce a newer destroyer or cruiser into a smoking hole in the water. A BB could likely withstand a few missile hits without being taken out of action.
