  1.  @Dittoooooooooooo  Use? Same use it does today. The biggest Seaport in the region and sits at the choke point of all travel from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. It supports your Land operations in the CBI and Cuts the supply line of Australia via the Indian Ocean.

  3. Well they ran the Royal Navy West of Suez. Killed the Dutch. And mauled the Aussies, New Zealanders, American Navies for most the war. That is outstanding work by the IJN.

  4.  @joshthomas-moore2656  No. Look at Norway with a wider lens. First, Sea access to the Atlantic. Second, a semi secure hiding spot for the Navy close to trade routes to Russia. Three, factory for heavy water production. Fourth, steal the Sardines.......

  5.  @bkjeong4302  🤔 What standard do you judge that by? Plane kills? Ships saved? Kills vs ship costs? Location and level of Air Threat? Luck?

  6.  @kemarisite  On the other hand you deny Norway to the UK. You deny the UK the ability stop Shipping from Sweden. The RAF bomber bases and coastal forces make Arctic Convoys trouble free if they are based in Norway, instead of Scapa Flow. The Germans lose the Atomic research in Norway. The trade off taking it, is better than not doing so.

  7.  @eamon821  R&D doesn't happen in a vacuum or with blank check books. It's the Depression era. And a era of naval treaty cut backs. So spending is stretched. Nor does leadership stay the same. New Administration means plan changes. Just look at the USN of 1980 vs 2019.

  13.  @spider0804  The hardware is only as good as the user. Shooting faster does not mean they can hit a barn door.

  15.  @spider0804  At this point your making this into a fanboy contest. I have no favorite. But they served the same role and did a fine job. Leave at that.

  16.  @spider0804  Factual analysis is lab control conditions and you prove your assertion. That has not occurred.
