Did you read anything I wrong about The Husatnoic and H.M.S. Queen Elizabeth?
Separated by 80 years but put out of action in the same way.
The Japanese Couldn't Sink our Battleships either.
They were inferior in practically every way.
And they still caught us with our pants down and thousands of our men died for it.
When the Warning signs were all there.
And Besides, for the Technology at the Time, no one thought Aircraft could sink a Battleship underway at sea.
But they did.
I guess I'm more focused on technologies past WWII. I guess the Arizona looks modern when you want to bring in an 1864 attack as proof of the threat.
Have a great day.
