Slow yur roll, Misery ~ USS Wisconsin, USS Iowa, and the USS New Jersey
I think you forgot somebody ~ Cream Filled DonutWW2 Battlewagons are my passion in history
Yamato and Mushasi definitely had firepower and armor in their favor
however, this pesky detail covering radar controlled fire direction would have rendered them a US BB half their size a sitting duck
Looks like a Colorado classI think you forgot somebody ~ Cream Filled Donut

Remember, y'all, there are only two types of ships:
1. Submarines
2. Targets
P.S. The most decorated ship in U.S. Navy history was a submarine, the USS Parche (SSN 683) ... you can look it up

Sent on suicide mission was no match for 400 aircraft. Greatest naval loss of life....ever. Was nearly twice the size of US battleships and it's guns were unmatched then or since. Born of secrecy this film clip has excellent photos.

The USA had an immense industrial engine, which was geared to war production. That was the awakened Giant that Admiral Yamato spoke of after Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor focused the American people toward war, when before we were still mostly isolationist. They kicked the hornet's nest...Besides, most of the aircraft carriers were not in port on Dec. 7, 1941Dude wanna post about something GREAT, how the hell did the US defeat the Japs at Midway 18 months later after Pearl Harbor....
