As I understand, the Bismarck had radar guided guns & anti-aircraft, the Hood did not and quickly sank. Later, Britians aircraft carrier w/antiquated torpedo bomber biplanes launched against Bismarck, and the Bismarcks radar guided anti-aircraft guns were not designed to work against such antiquated slow planes and they overcompensated... being useless. Bismarck took a torpedo to the rudder, and was stuck going in loops until Britain's fleet caught it and slammed it, Bismarcks crew scuttled it.
@ZenPhilosopher123 HMS hood didn't make it at all. 6 days after (check me on that im not sure) the carrier HMS Crown Royal and the cruiser HMS Dorsetshire sunk the Bismarck. HMS Prince of Wales also fought alongside HMS Hood. but she made it.
What if the rudder of the Bismarck were still in working order. The outcome of one of the greatest seabattle would have been different. My hat is off to all of those who had died from both side. What a battle, indeed!
@russiaviation Beleive me there's a Lot of 'What If's' with this particular Naval Enguagement, for example if the 15'' Shell from Bismarck had Struck the Hood only a few Seconds Earlier or later it would either of hit her Superstructure or her Starboard Belt Armor (in other words the Hood would have escaped Distruction, & been close enough to avoid further plunging Fire, but more than able to return Fire apon the Bismarck with all of her own 15'' & 5.5'' Guns).
Obviously not. As plunging fire from Bismark ripped through Hoods unprotected deck and hit her magazine. Thats the whole point. Hood was due for a refit on her vulnerable deck before leaving Portsmouth. But it never happened. If it had, Hood would not have been sunk during the Battle of the Denmark straight.
at the range that Hood was hit the angle of the incoming shell would not have been greater than 11 deg, that is not plunging fire. The penetration table (by the gun makers) indicates that at that range there would be no penetration of horizontal armour.
the most likely is that Hoods upper BELT was penetrated, and if Hood had progressed far enough into her final turn her main belt would be penetrated.
What if the serious eruption of a volcano somewhere in Indonesia in 1815 hadn't drastically influenced the weather in Europe so they saw heavy rainfall like never before? Would Napoleon be able to move his heavy guns more rapidly and win in Waterloo??
Heck, some even said somebody forgetting to lock a gate was what doomed Constantinople in 1453. What if??
This much I know, the Bismarck didn't accidently hit some uncharted reef.
@McLarenMercedes Yeah, one thing I have to agree with you about the battle of Waterloo. Yeah, indeed, if there were no rainfall before that decisive battle. Napoleon would have won the battle easily that could change the face of the entire world for better or worse! No one knows for sure, but I truly believed it was the work of the man up stair WHO was probably tired of all the fighting in Europe at the time. Keep on posting, take care!
If it was actually at a range where it would have been plunging fire then no they were not amoured enough. But the angle of the shell that hit Hood would not have been greater than 12deg due to the relative short range, so NOT plunging fire. Hood was in fact safe at that range from plunging fire. At the range Hood was hit any hit on the top deck would have caused the shell to ricochet off and not penetrate.
@notsureyou at 14 kilometers the shell would not had penetrated the deck, it fell at 9 degree.. IMO the shell penetrated her 12 inch belt instead.. at that range a german 15 inch shell had a penetration power of over 20 inches
The range is anywhere from 13.5-16km. I was giving the steepest angle if the range was the furhtest :)
Only if Hood had progressed enough into her turn. the offset angle to target would have increased the belts effectiveness. But the upper thinner side amour stood no chance.

@EpicMuyskens Bismarcks rudder was hit and all it could do was go in circles, while troops used rubber boats to form a smiley face. the end was made up, not the rudder and circle part.
IOWA is almost a completly diffent Breed. In that the Americans opted for a fire control that was completely radar guided. which was a huge gamble that paid off. She was also designed and built after Bismarck.
The germans on the other hand relied more upon the tried and tested optical method. Though Bismarck did have radar it was actually inferior to the one that PE had. Had her radar been upgraded then it wouldnt have been put out of action by the guns firing the prev night
radar is just as vulnerable to combat damage as is optical. The advantage with radar is that you have the capability to fnd the range faster (certainly by the end of the war), and start landing hits on your enemy faster.
Though relalisticaly it is pretty hard to hit a target at the extreme ranges due to the amount of moving (evading) the target can do between when you fire and your shells arrive. For Bismarck at max range the flight time is 71 seconds.
Well at least germans reached Kara Sea during their naval campaign. Something her highnesses Royal Navy will NEVER be able to do if a war with Russia and the "free world" brokes out.
the wreck has been combed over and so far the evidence shows the british navy did sink bismarck. the bismarcks crew was given the order to scuttle and they did carry it out. but the bismarck by then was alread listing to port and down by the stern becoming very unstable platform. they found 3 16inch shell hits that went through the main armour belt. it was also discovered that the torpedo's from victorious and ark royal aircraft did more damgege then first believed. hope they find more.
that was the British survey that you are refering to. Though they did use small ROV's to try to help out with the survey they were unable to enter the hull due to them being too large. a later american survey using smaller ROV's entered the hull and disproved the british survey and report.
from what I have read only 1*16inch shell penetrated the main belt. though given the armour layout of Bismarck it is unlikely that the shell could have reached the inner vitals.
in regards to the torp damage the smaller ROV's actually went inside the hull, and found the torpedo bulkheads intact, and so only the sacrificial zone was destroyed.
For the 16inch shell even though Rodney, from what I have read for Rodney to be able to penetrate to the inner vitals, she would quite literally have to have her guns right next to Bismarck to have a chance.
well, so much for that 'greatest battleship ever' stuff.
they're all rotting down there in the depths.
what's so great about that?
the great ones are the ones that never sank. PERIOD!
HISTORICAL FACTS AND TRUTHS CANNOT BE REWRITTEN BY JUST LOUSY, BIASED OPINIONS. opinions no matter how sound and valid they may be never amount to facts...
@roycosing Just because they survived does not make them the greatest, just that they were ships that were not fated to be sunk. History can't be re-written but it can be used to dertermine the TRUTH and the TRUTH is, not by me but by PROFFESIONALS people who get payed to do this, who spend day in and out researching until they can finally make a conclusion say. So hush newbie
@nastrael: HMS Hood was a battlecruiser, not a destroyer. This battle is considered such an even match it pitted a battlecruiser + battleship (Prince of Wales) against a battleship and a heavy cruiser (Prinz Eugen).
its funny cause even though the Bismark sunk the HMS Hood (not that big of an accomplishmentconsidering the fact that the Hood was a destroyer and the Bismark was the largest Battleship ever built) in the end the Bismark was sunk by *drumroll please* ....BIPLANES!!!
@nastrael Hood was a Destroyer eh? It carried 4inch guns, displaced a couple of thousand tons and was used for hunting submarines eh? it's a bit strange that you comment on something when you dont know a BATTLECRUISER from a Destroyer. Also, Drumroll....The Swordfish biplanes only damaged the rudders. So, thats everything in your post completly wrong. Why not go comment on some vidio of partical physics and opine your expertise there?

sunk by bi-planes? um no she wasnt. like all battleships she was vulnerable to torpedoes and a lucky hit disabled the rudder. Just like a lucky hit from a torpedo sank HMS POW.
really i thought they just carried some eggs to throw at the crew.... thankyou so much for enlightening me......
of the 3 torpedoes that were dropped by the bi-planes that hit (1 in the victorious raid, and 2 in the Ark Royal raid), 2 hit the belt area and did NOTHING, and the last hit the sterring gear.
While that last one sealed her fate, it did not sink her. So she wasnt sunk by bi-planes.
@notsureyou HE was sunk by biplanes... yes with torpedoes but its the fact that a few hunks of wood and canvas could do something to damage the massive beats that was the Bismark.
the torpedo jammed the steering gear, and so sealed her fate, but they didnt sink her. The hit enabled the british BB's to catch up and pound her into uselessness.
She didnt sink as a result of being hit by the torpedoes dropped by the Swordfish.
@notsureyou no the entire German navy refered to as a HE. probably because Hitler did it and everyone wanted to kiss his Nazi ass. but regardless it was a massive ship
you all seem like experts, were any of you on the bismark? the hood? the prince of wales? if not, just shut up and go beat your wife or something to prove how tough you are
@zandar OK it's like this All the armor in the world on Yamato would'nt help it against excellent fire control. Not to mention Yamato was SLOW by comparison. See every BB has immunity and vulnerability zones based on the angle and velocity of the incoming shells. Battleships are able to fire over the horizon. The faster ship with radar fire control picks the range and pummels the other into submission.
Yamato beats Bismark all the way. Why? a battle, the Yamato can dish out a bigger, more precise payload then the Bismark, it also has great armor against shells, dive bombs and torpedoes.
Bismark anti-ship armament: 8 (4 platforms each with 2 cannons) 15in. Naval gun.
Yamato. 9 (3 platforms, each with 3 cannons) 18.1in naval gun. Do the math (thats without adding their smaller, faster reloading naval guns made for support fire).
@masterDevis EVIL WON THIS WAR, AND NOW THEIR PUNISHMENT IS TO SEE THEIR FREE COUNTRY OVERUN WITH ALIENS, LOST JOBS, LOST HOUSES, LOST MORALS, LOST BABIES, SHALL I CONTIN UE?
@graciemaemarie11 and one more thing, which is more evil? the "evil" of the communist-acclaimed "greedy capitalist pigs" American democracy and the West, or Hitler's regime of death and terror, with the sole purposes of mass murder, mass enslavement, and world domination, which was Nazi Germany?
@masterDevis 'and one more thing'......germans never wantedWORLD domination,unlike america and its 'gallant' soviet allies... 'uncle 'joe, greatest mass murderer off all time, he even killed his own pow's by the millions,however demens like 'sir' arthur harris and demented curtis lemay,come close these two monsters advocated roasting civilians to death by the hundreds of thousands, but you probably never heard of them...
@graciemaemarie11 It was concidered at the time that the war could be shortened (and therefore lives saved) by the bombing of civilian targets. Harris believed the war could be ended by bombing alone (perhaps correctly given the way the Japanese were forced to surrender). The Germans bombed English civilian targets first. The response was unpleasant (and not one I would support) but understandable given the situation.
@zandar49 So you believe they should always be involved( 'should 'Ever' be involved' -meaning always)? Harsh. It's a tragedy that civilians are killed but I think also tragic when servicemen die. The difference between a soldier and a civilian is not all that great. Soldiers feel pain and fear as much as anyone. War is a tragedy-but sometimes impossible to avoid (as some people simply cannot be reasoned with).
@kurukblackflame IDK but to clear any misunderstandings, I said civilians SHOULDN'T be involved in war. Servicemen yes they are afraid, but they are trained to act, civilians are not. As much as cold as this seems, war is for soldiers so while I do not want them to die, it's a hard cold fact that we need to swallow
@tjampe You really think the Yamato is weaker than the bismark? Lol Yamato was crowned "Greatest battleship of history" while Bismark was only known for "Sicking a battlecruiser"
@rocksparadox Yet the Yamato was and still is the champion holding the "greatest battleship ever built" and by greatest they DO mean best weapons AND armor. Best armor, best weapons, BBS title OH! that's right, NO CAPTAIN in their right mind dared square off with it, thats why the Yamato barely destroyed things, EVERY bitch in the pacific ran from it's cannons. THAT'S why it got sunk by planes.
@zandar49 Exactly the reason why it's a complete failure.. just like railroadcannons ... they cost huge amounts of resources to accomplish what some bombers could do too. A higher tech vessel would land more hits and therefore the bismarck would probably blast the command tower to shit before that crate could hit it back.
and you REALLY think the Yamato wasn't made to withstand an indirect hit to the command tower? and don't bullshit me to believing a radar could count for wind, enemy ship course, ship course speed to make a direct shot to the command tower. I don't know much about railroad cannons but Yamato cannons are better, better armor and last I checked being able to dish out and take damage is wayyy better than a fancy radar primitive targeting system
@zandar49 Have to challenge that statement sorry :D First of all the Yamato was obsolete in the pacific because of aircraft carriers. Secondly the U.S Iowa class battleships are fully able to even take on the Yamato. Thirdly after pearl harbor it made the U.S more determined push thru anything that stood in there way of revenge. Finally a battleship on it own is moderately powerful where as both Bismark and Yamato are more effect with a battle group and support with them.

@Pain4561 Yet instead of sending battleships at it they had to fight it on it's weak (barely weak) point, bombers. Don't bring in "american determination" and "rage" it's an OFFICIAL record that US at many points during the war ran away when a Japanese force with the Yamato in it, leaving behind marines and NAVY personnel stranded on islands.
If battleships were obsolete, why did Americans make them (if you say a super BB is obsolete, you also mean all battleships)?
@zandar49 The Battleships were Obsolete but they still had there uses like for shore bombardment and support to landings or in some cases when carriers were unable to support they would take the role.
Yes there were times where when they had to retreat but in those situations they were really unprepared to take it head on. And my point was that alone battleships are obsolete but are more effective with support with it.
@Pain4561 Ok dude, get your facts straights. Battleships weren't obsolete, when it comes to NAVAL BATTLE which were just as important as air battles and land battles, Battleships were the top dogs, specially in Yamato's case. Aircraft carriers had the weakest defense when it came to NAVAL combat, relying on battleships or heavy cruisers to protect them.
@zandar49 You must be forgetting that carriers are equipped to be able to take on battleships (not alone) with aircraft. i got my facts straights, and quite frankly they were obsolete but had other uses for them.
@Pain4561and last I checked ALL ships needed a support group to work efficiently, including carrier (specially carriers), with the exclusion of the sub-marine (in most cases) so don't go bullshitting me about BBs being weak on their own because ALL ships have strong points and weaknesses that they NEED a group to overcome. Yamato and Bismark overcoming most of those weaknesses.
@zandar49 Bismark really did have battlegroup and the Yamato had a bettergroup but could not take on major U.S battlegroups. Secondly, depending on the situation and theater of war, some ships were effective alone.
@Pain4561 You obviously need to re-think and re-read history boy. Yamato had no air support just BARELY naval support and still it took the entire task force's air group (11 carriers) to bring that beast down, so if it was just 1 carrier's air power vs the Yamato, they would of been *****.
@zandar49 First of all, i never said the Yamato had air support. Secondly it took so long because of the size of it made it a fortress. And Lastly i don't recall (Unless i missed it) carrier groups have just one carrier...
@Pain4561 it wasn't a carrier group it was a task force, TASK FORCE!!! Secondly you said Battleships were obsolete due to the power of carriers, I say that is false, considering my previous comment that it took 11 times the power of a carrier to bring down 1 battleship, that doesn't make the BBs obsolete.
@zandar49 Typically battleships are more armored. Secondly even if it took 11 times the power it still makes them obsolete since they cant take on air power. Thirdly they had there other uses.
@Pain4561 Now I know you haven't been properly educated on the matter. IDK about most battleships, but at least YAMATO was built to give a big punch to ALL sides EXCEPT submarines (I think)
24 Guns each of 127MM AA and 162 guns each of 25MM AA .
@tjampe Ok you're obviously a moron. The fact that Bismark was in more battles and able to spread more horror than the Yamato was for one reason only: British saw the Bismark as a threat that COULD be handle, thay's why they sent a battlecruiser and Battleship at it. When the marines, the NAVY, the army air force when ANYONE saw the Yamato they didn't even bother to think if they could take it on, it was a "drop what you're doing and run" situation
@zandar49 why thé hell are everyone talking about Yamato. ok. yamato was bigger than bismarck, but i din't give a FUCK. Bismarck is the ship i prefer if we compare them. And what does it really matter? Germany and Japan were alies. German ships, airplanes, tanks and cars are the best ones in the world today. And bismarck was probably more advanced then yamato refering to that their Mitsubishi ZERO fighters were made of aluminium and plywood, you could shoot the pilot with a rifle from ground.
All you cunts saying the bismarck tried to surrender.. who gives a fuck? did the nazi's give the jews a chance? Did they give HMS hood a chance when they carried on firing at it.. NO.. Rule britannia!
@Shouboushi9 They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for ones country . But in modern war there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying.
and in terms of respected, try the Enterprise. The most renowned, respected and tactical and morale importance of world war 2, which by the way participated in the battle of midway and later has a headlines news titled "Enterprise VS Japan" for being the last american carrier for a time.
@zandar49 nope again these are ww2 ships Modern Royal navy ships destroyers are only 7200 tons can operate inshore no draught have more fire power and antisubmarine capeabilitys plus helicopters plus what else we dont know about nuclear
The irony of it all is that while the maker of thi video says the "most mighty" he forgets that her greatest battle was a tag match between a (German side) Heavy cruiser and outlaw battleship(Bismark) vs (Allied side) outdated battlecruiser and a battleship with CIVILIAN workers still in it.
Irony of the history that Poland, first victim of the war started by germans suffers because of that til now while nation that cause one of the biggest crimes in the history of mankind are thriving thanx to billions of dollars pumped in to the country by their former enemies. Yet instead of sitting quiet and enjoying undeserved prosperity some idiots are trying to build up their ego on unbelievable crimes commited by their parents or grandparents. Great job
Bunch of ignorants... Are you really that stupid to put germans as victims? Dresden? Sure it is tragedy of normal people... But from what i know those people supported their leader that started the war. Should i start to count the names of cities, towns and villages that was destroyed to the ground by germans? Should i compare casualties of those towns to those in Dresden? Its unbelieveable that there are still people trying to justify german crimes against nations. Shame
@weedeaterbike nope imperial japanese navy ship yamoto super class battleship 30.000 tons bigger than bismark or tirpitz and 18 inch guns compared to germans 15inch all battle ships were outdated ww2 by carriers and planes
@BENNYSIEGEL90 oioioi im british and many other people who are very big christians might think that OK,
and your talking about the titanic , and...this is a video about warships.....ok? i dare you to go up to a brit and say that to him, he'll kick the shit out of you, so don't go about saying what you dont know
@BENNYSIEGEL90 yeah and in ww2 the brits commited mass genocide and killed 60.000.000 people didnt they oh wait sorry its my fault austwitz sounded english for a second. fucking retard
@tflLoTuS your logic is fucking retarded. nazis were somehow not as bad because they killed a few million less? you're an idiot. you live in a fantasy world.
@jros83 lol dude where did i say the nazi's were not bad? show it to me please. i'm just correcting the dudes numbers. if youre going to call a dude a retard at least have your facts straight.
The spirit of the Bismarck (and the "lucky" Prinz Eugen) was this battle: one vs one, flagship vs flagship ... and then few days later an ending massively outnumbered by a fleet - and this is not enough years later they nuked Prinz Eugen: one ship sunk, one raped!
Really its easy to make judgment about this battle but the british navy was in a desperate time they knew if the Bismark got into the sea it would or murdered the convoys hell look what 1 raider would do imangine what a fully fledged battle ship would of done; i used play the great naval ship an put the bismark into the middle of the alantic nothing could hit me the 4 inch deck guns from the ships were useless an they didnt appear until later on. Bring back the battleships they do have a place
like others have said its not really fair to compare these 2 ships. They were from 2 vastly different generations of capital ship construction. for a start hood was actually a battlecruiser which had been built for speed whilst sacrificing armour, she was also designed and constructed during ww1. bismark was a true battleship, despite her length her loaded displacement was greater than hoods and she was designed and constructed after learning the many lessons that navies learned duing ww1 :)
As I understand, the Bismarck had radar guided guns & anti-aircraft, the Hood did not and quickly sank. Later, Britians aircraft carrier w/antiquated torpedo bomber biplanes launched against Bismarck, and the Bismarcks radar guided anti-aircraft guns were not designed to work against such antiquated slow planes and they overcompensated... being useless. Bismarck took a torpedo to the rudder, and was stuck going in loops until Britain's fleet caught it and slammed it, Bismarcks crew scuttled it.

I think the Japanese Yamato, the Geman Bismark, and the American U.S.S Iowa were the most powerful battleships to sail (I'm not sure).
The Bismark (according to a book called war stories) had an.... I think computer.... targeting system, which would be state of the art in the 40's.
The Bismark was badly outnumbered and was hit by Bi-planes and wouldn't be able to beat all those ships.
So I think the Bismark could sink the Yamato. I don't know about the Iowa, I think it might as well.

@EpicMuyskens Bismarcks rudder was hit and all it could do was go in circles, while troops used rubber boats to form a smiley face. the end was made up, not the rudder and circle part.

@EpicMuyskens
IOWA is almost a completly diffent Breed. In that the Americans opted for a fire control that was completely radar guided. which was a huge gamble that paid off. She was also designed and built after Bismarck.
The germans on the other hand relied more upon the tried and tested optical method. Though Bismarck did have radar it was actually inferior to the one that PE had. Had her radar been upgraded then it wouldnt have been put out of action by the guns firing the prev night

@notsureyou
radar is just as vulnerable to combat damage as is optical. The advantage with radar is that you have the capability to fnd the range faster (certainly by the end of the war), and start landing hits on your enemy faster.
Though relalisticaly it is pretty hard to hit a target at the extreme ranges due to the amount of moving (evading) the target can do between when you fire and your shells arrive. For Bismarck at max range the flight time is 71 seconds.

the wreck has been combed over and so far the evidence shows the british navy did sink bismarck. the bismarcks crew was given the order to scuttle and they did carry it out. but the bismarck by then was alread listing to port and down by the stern becoming very unstable platform. they found 3 16inch shell hits that went through the main armour belt. it was also discovered that the torpedo's from victorious and ark royal aircraft did more damgege then first believed. hope they find more.

@glynamus
that was the British survey that you are refering to. Though they did use small ROV's to try to help out with the survey they were unable to enter the hull due to them being too large. a later american survey using smaller ROV's entered the hull and disproved the british survey and report.
from what I have read only 1*16inch shell penetrated the main belt. though given the armour layout of Bismarck it is unlikely that the shell could have reached the inner vitals.

zandar49 3 months ago
@zandar49
? the torps, or the 16inch shell?
in regards to the torp damage the smaller ROV's actually went inside the hull, and found the torpedo bulkheads intact, and so only the sacrificial zone was destroyed.
For the 16inch shell even though Rodney, from what I have read for Rodney to be able to penetrate to the inner vitals, she would quite literally have to have her guns right next to Bismarck to have a chance.

@zandar OK it's like this All the armor in the world on Yamato would'nt help it against excellent fire control. Not to mention Yamato was SLOW by comparison. See every BB has immunity and vulnerability zones based on the angle and velocity of the incoming shells. Battleships are able to fire over the horizon. The faster ship with radar fire control picks the range and pummels the other into submission.

Yamato beats Bismark all the way. Why? a battle, the Yamato can dish out a bigger, more precise payload then the Bismark, it also has great armor against shells, dive bombs and torpedoes.
Bismark anti-ship armament: 8 (4 platforms each with 2 cannons) 15in. Naval gun.
Yamato. 9 (3 platforms, each with 3 cannons) 18.1in naval gun. Do the math (thats without adding their smaller, faster reloading naval guns made for support fire).

@graciemaemarie11 It was concidered at the time that the war could be shortened (and therefore lives saved) by the bombing of civilian targets.

The response was unpleasant (and not one I would support) but understandable given the situation.

War is a tragedy-but sometimes impossible to avoid (as some people simply cannot be reasoned with).

@rocksparadox Yet the Yamato was and still is the champion holding the "greatest battleship ever built" and by greatest they DO mean best weapons AND armor. Best armor, best weapons, BBS title OH! that's right, NO CAPTAIN in their right mind dared square off with it, thats why the Yamato barely destroyed things, EVERY bitch in the pacific ran from it's cannons. THAT'S why it got sunk by planes.
zandar49 4 months ago
@zandar49 Exactly the reason why it's a complete failure.. just like railroadcannons ... they cost huge amounts of resources to accomplish what some bombers could do too. A higher tech vessel would land more hits and therefore the bismarck would probably blast the command tower to shit before that crate could hit it back.
rocksparadox 4 months ago
and you REALLY think the Yamato wasn't made to withstand an indirect hit to the command tower? and don't bullshit me to believing a radar could count for wind, enemy ship course, ship course speed to make a direct shot to the command tower. I don't know much about railroad cannons but Yamato cannons are better, better armor and last I checked being able to dish out and take damage is wayyy better than a fancy radar primitive targeting system

@Pain4561 Yet instead of sending battleships at it they had to fight it on it's weak (barely weak) point, bombers. Don't bring in "american determination" and "rage" it's an OFFICIAL record that US at many points during the war ran away when a Japanese force with the Yamato in it, leaving behind marines and NAVY personnel stranded on islands.
If battleships were obsolete, why did Americans make them (if you say a super BB is obsolete, you also mean all battleships)?
zandar49 4 months ago
@zandar49 The Battleships were Obsolete but they still had there uses like for shore bombardment and support to landings or in some cases when carriers were unable to support they would take the role.
Yes there were times where when they had to retreat but in those situations they were really unprepared to take it head on. And my point was that alone battleships are obsolete but are more effective with support with it.

@Pain4561 Ok dude, get your facts straights. Battleships weren't obsolete, when it comes to NAVAL BATTLE which were just as important as air battles and land battles, Battleships were the top dogs, specially in Yamato's case. Aircraft carriers had the weakest defense when it came to NAVAL combat, relying on battleships or heavy cruisers to protect them.
zandar49 4 months ago
@zandar49 You must be forgetting that carriers are equipped to be able to take on battleships (not alone) with aircraft. i got my facts straights, and quite frankly they were obsolete but had other uses for them.

@Pain4561and last I checked ALL ships needed a support group to work efficiently, including carrier (specially carriers), with the exclusion of the sub-marine (in most cases) so don't go bullshitting me about BBs being weak on their own because ALL ships have strong points and weaknesses that they NEED a group to overcome. Yamato and Bismark overcoming most of those weaknesses.

@Pain4561 You obviously need to re-think and re-read history boy. Yamato had no air support just BARELY naval support and still it took the entire task force's air group (11 carriers) to bring that beast down, so if it was just 1 carrier's air power vs the Yamato, they would of been *****.

@Pain4561 it wasn't a carrier group it was a task force, TASK FORCE!!!
