Is the Battleship irrelevant?

i think we only have about eight of them left (not including the two at Pearl). seems like they've run their course. military operations have changed a lot. other much more efficient ways to do the job, these days.

Military aircraft and air to surface missiles have developed to the point where the battleship was nothing but a big floating target. A modern destroyer, smaller, faster, and cheaper to build, has as much, if not more, firepower capability than a battleship.


Resistance
Yes they stopped using them.


jeeper_peeper321
Yes, thats why no one has them anymore.


Bonkers!
Yeh, that's why the last one was decommissioned years ago.


Ray
Sadly, yes. Although they are the mighty phallus of the sea, their fire support mission is so limited to coastal areas that their cost didn't justify thier capabilities.

yes they have been phased out and the navy has turned to light cruisers and destroyers.


Yes well whatever
No, the simply no longer exist in modern navies. They're not important enough to be irrelevant.
