Thanks Drach If the Japanese had completed the 8-8 program, what would the US have built in reply to it once they learned the details of the Japanese designs. Let's hope some sanity prevails and they don't compete the 'tin shed' Lexingtons. If the British I class ships 6inch armour was useless against 12inch fire, the Lexington 7inch would have been even worse against 16inch shells.

Regarding the question of night fighting: Given the number of disasters and near disasters the HSF bumbled into when they were running for safety after Jutland, was Jellicoe smarter than Scheer when he decided a night action was far too dangerous and was a seriously bad idea
