Instead of being the primary force in a naval battle, they became large and capable escorts and still one of the best shore bombardment type ships ever. Heck to this day the big gun is far more cost effective. This is kind of like when the navy decided the gun was obsolete and tried building cruisers with missile only armament. They had to go back and add guns.</p></blockquote><p></p>
