@MandoWookie kinda shows how torpedoes were already ruling the waves when a swarm of pretty much obsolete biplanes with torpedoes could cripple a battleship, though even by then unescorted lone battleships were not a terribly smart idea either, though like everything about ww2's naval fight, the pacific just took that to a massive scale

I do find it funny that unlike a lot of major powers the USN and USArmy had no problem building competing airforces because they both hated each other too much to work together and neither one had enough clout to overpower the other, so letting them just do their own things and give them the money to do so was seen as the compromise, even after ww2 when both branches were independently developing space programs

the brits are still not exactly having to fight the apocolyptic sized naval battle that the pacific theater was. Not to discount them but they just didn't have that large of an air presence there, and thus didn't learn the lessons the US did
