OT: Battleships vs. Carriers...

Hi Guys,

I don't want to start another huge debate (don't have the time), but
there is a very good article in the January 2000 issue of the
Proceedings.   In short, it will take 3 to 6 carriers (depends on need
escorts, CAP, number of wings per carrier, etc.) to equal the per day
throw weigth of one battleship for fire support.  They also go into the
ERGM and AGS for DD-21.
