  4. The logistics alone are problem. World War II as a topic is dated. We had 40 years of World War II movies. Like westerns, not in Vogue now.Nor is your average movie audience of 18 to 24 a prime demo for a World War II Naval movie.

  11.  @timengineman2nd714  the guns lack the speed, elevation and direction for the job. Throwing 8" shells as AA is a poor idea.
