Hell, history records Yamato and Musashi were kept secreted away and out of action, awaiting the BIG ONE-which never materialized. The mere suggestion of any foreign (allied or otherwise) battleship coming out on top against a USN battleship, is pure wishful thinking.
There MUST have been some gain in performance over the SoDaks/ North Carolinas main guns, otherwise, what's the point in adding the extra barrel length and weight?Įven if they all used the "superheavy" shells, surely that extra barrel length should have translated into some advantage? So, do we use Iowa-class stats and data for the 45-cal gun, with no deletory adjustments?Īpart from that, there's no question at all about who wins-after all, it's ALWAYS the USN.at least on paper, since most of the US battleships never engaged another, and even those that did, were not Iowas. The guns of the SoDak class were 45-cal naval rifles, the Iowa class used 50-cals.
