it seems to me that needing to pull over on the highway at every gas station just isn't as effective as a car that can drive from new york to chicago with a fill up or two but that's just my us as to the second point whether a ship is actually sunk by gunfire or if it's just damaged so severely that it's forced to scuttle doesn't matter the same result occurs on the other hand though one shouldn't conflate the effectiveness of the design with the ship's specific fate like i said somewhere else the other day i doubt a kgv or sodak could have stood up any better to the same level of pummeling that bis endured at her last battle
