how many of them do you think survive the war? Are any of them preserved as museums? do any of them see service in the postwar era? The guns on this or not the 8 inch they’re a hypothetical 5 inch 38 triple. a. I expect most of them to be sunk in battle or to be scrapped. b. Maybe one, if the money is raised. Battleships got a better more glamorous press from WWII as did submarines. The only reason we have flattop museum ships at all is because we museumed some Korean War veterans. c. You will NEVER see US 5 inch mounts in a triple configuration. The reason is that mutual in flight interference in the AAA role was a thing that was to be avoided. US AAA was odds even with the left and right barrels firing independently. |

US AAA was odds even with the left and right barrels firing independently. Regarding C was more of idle curiosity. Disregarded it. assume it mounts the same 5 inch guns that were on enterprise instead. Remember the ships are materially new, so how does the Navy treat them? After the war does that survive are roughly 4 years old materially, so I don’t see them being scrapped soon. |

Rule VII: It is okay to respond to old threads that are 90 days old, but be aware that threads older than 180 days (labeled as Very Old threads) and 365 days (labelled as Extreme Old thread) might raise the mod attention if there is no substantial new contribution made in that thread, such as to extend a timeline, otherwise make a new thread under the same name but add a "II" or next available Roman Numeral to the thread title.
PM a mod ore create a new thread under the same name but add a "II" or next available Roman Numeral to the thread title the next time. |
