That is my favourite political comedy sketch. So the front falls off Australian oil tankers, but the back falls off German heavy cruisers? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5qxZm_JqM

@andrewfanner2245 Surely the Alaska Class at the end of WW2 were battle cruisers? I know the Americans had a phobia about using the term 'battle cruiser' (I have no idea why), but the Alaska class ticks almost every box in the definition of battle cruiser, far more than many ships that were formally described as that.
