@tomriley5790 Those were the rules of war of the time. Subs followed the same rules till they went to Unrestricted warfare in WW 1. The Graf Spee did play by the rule at the start of the war.

@USSAnimeNCC- We already have lost two. USS Thresher in 1963 & USS Scorpion in 1968. They remain on the sea floor. Research dives have found no radiation issues.

@TheKingofbrooklin Because after 5 years of World death and destruction, you really wish to push weapons proliferation? The World is in Peace/ sword into plowshares mode. Your idea would be rejected.

@Krieg-ch8ot By most yardsticks, BC is the correct classification.

@hothoploink1509 2 ships are still just 2 ships.......🙄 It's like saying, "What if only Davey Crockett had a MG 42 at the Alamo?"

@dubsy1026 Sigh.... "Give me peg or give me death!" 😏 Now, time to mow the backyard. And wait for some Metal band to do a video prasing German Battlecruisers in the River Plate.

Not really ideal. Raiders needed to ID targets. Search cargoes. Take off crews before sinkings. Planes can't do that.

@craighagenbruch3800 Craig, it is not that simple. It is new technology. It's like jet engines. They were still R&D items. Not proven items that you could have feedback on what works. Reading Popular Science magazine and saying great, let's equip the IJN is not how it goes. Also is there even a electronics industry to build a radar?

@eddierudolph7694 Narrow down what nation your talking of. Your question is too broad.

@dubsy1026 Why not? France has a empire far from home to partrol. That means long range ocean travel. For that, bigger is better.

@Krieg-ch8ot Sure. Calling them BC's or Pocket BB's is getting into word games.

@Primarch359 Technically Brazil. But we have no ships to sell, are worth buying and are non Nuclear. Brazil tried the used carrier thing with France and got a money pit of grief in return.

@dubsy1026 There is a oddness to all French military design. At sea, in the air & on the ground. That is why they are France. 🙄🇫🇷

@dubsy1026 Now your just arguing to argue. They outgunned every 8" cruiser made. As for speed and armor? The Range was more critical than speed. And as a radier, heavy armor was a trade off. Do you wish to call HMS Hood a Battleship due to gun size alone? Calling the Deutschland a BC, it a fitting term.

@Islander0711 Your rushing technology and tactics faster than it takes time to do things. You say change. What is the great rush to do so in peactime?

@dubsy1026 What is next? Tomato, fruit or vegetable? 🙄 Call it a Panzerschiffe and call it a day......

@hothoploink1509 Basically this is now Star Trek and the Japanese are a Borg cube at the Battle Wolf 359.....🤨 Okay....🙄

@dubsy1026 You're determined to fit this peg into the hole of your choice. Be it round, octagonal or hexagonal.... There is no stone tablet carried by Moses about this.🙄

@TheKingofbrooklin Post World War 1 was a period of disarmament, treaties to cut warship building and a League of Nations formed. Few nations were eager to jump on the Greek vs Turkey War in that light.

@danielsummey4144 You have heard of a invention called the SAM? Thus Aegis CG-47'S were born to do the role of Air defense ship. You're going backwards in abilities.
