Great video Drach and I'm glad to hear you sound much better, Tgose pictures of ship covered in ice and snow were chilling. It showed just how harsh and tough a place the Artic Ocean is in winter and how dangerous it was to run convoys to Russia in such conditions. THe biggest danger seemed to be the build up of ice on a ship wich could jam vital equipment and maybe even capsize a ship if left unchecked. The crews on both sides fought bravely in appalling conditions in proved that the Battleship still had a role to play. A Carrier would have been useless in this situation.

@joweeqc98 Actually the Italian Navy should have dominated the Med given the central position of Italy, their much larger Navy and airforce and the ability to defeat Force H and the Med Fleet in detail. Britain had a larger Navy overall but could only deploy a limited number of ships to this theater. The biggest problem they faced was their Admiralty seemed to be terrified of losing ships. They couldn't seem to realize that in order to win you have to sink the enemy's ships and to do that you have to engage them in battle which means risking losing some of your own ships. Also co-operation between teh Italian Navy and Airforce was poor at best.
