  1. "Pocket Battleships" were the nicknames that the British gave to the Deutschland-class, not the Scharnhorst-class

  2. Battleship, German Battlecruisers still had less armor than German Battleships, Scharnhorst definitely had battleship grade armor

  3. In realm of WW2 in which Capital Ships have much more armor than in WW1 those 11 guns are very very inadequate

  4.  @hajoos.8360  The Scharnhorst's longest Gunnery hit approximately 24,000 the same as HMS Warspite was more due to luck than actual calculations. The penetration values of the 11 inch guns of the Scharnhorst-class was inferior to the modern guns of the WW2 Capital Ships, I mean the 13.5 inch main gun of the Dunkerque-class had penetration according to navweaps.com

  5.  @hajoos.8360  According to the Book "Battleships" by William H. Garzke the Improved 11 inch gun can penetrate armor but it's are still inferior to bigger caliber guns. Yes they shot from beyond the horizon but it's still luck, if their so called "beyond the horizon" shot wasn't due to luck then maybe they should get their head out of sand and actually utilize that advantage,

  6.  @hajoos.8360  What makes you think that a fully operational Bismarck would be able to defeat KGV and Rodney alone? Both KGV and Rodney were superior ships, they had thicker armor and was better protected, they had a heavier broadside weight, they had much more advanced radar and fire Control systems, the only thing Bismarck could do is use her speed as an advantage and run away.

  7.  @hajoos.8360  An intact Bismarck sank the a very old Battlecruiser and heavily damaged a malfunctioning battleship with the help of Prinz Eugen, that's really a low achievement. On paper means a lot more than your faith in Bismarck

  8. Then they would have been a far better ship than the Bismarck-class

  9. Because the Scharnhorst-class are fast, heavily armored, and undergunned Battleships that's why they declined a fight with a Battlecruiser. They are Fast Battleships
