WW2 saw the death knell of battleships and the dominant force in naval warfare. Time and again, from Pearl Harbor to Mers-el-Kebir, to Taranto to the sinking of the HMS Repulse on the high seas, to the bitter end of the Japanese Battleship Yamato, air power was shown to be the dominant force in naval warfare. Billy Mitchell had been dead right. Against concerted air attack, and lacking air cover of its own, battleships were sitting ducks.
