Re: Is "BattleCruiser" a relative size? -- discussion
You are right about the torpedoes, although IIRC the quality of the torpedoes themselves were only one part of the problem for the Americans, the other part was that their torpedo bombers were too slow and therefore an easy target for enemy AA fire.
Unarmored carriers made for wildly unpredictable battle results. They were a priority target, had no armor and were loaded with airplane fuel. A single bomb through the deck could waste them.
How were the Yamato and Musashi sunk ? Bombs or torpedoes ?
