Which ship. Where is it and what year.

So a powder keg then. It would have the added effect of who will win the war in Europe and the Med.

It is possible for the RAF AND the Lufftewaffe to join the party.

Both sides would take a battering from land based aircraft. We could see a lot more damage but it depends on who can put more aircraft into the sky more quickly.

She keeps shouting about the falklands. She has tried to get allies to help invade them again.

Taranto showed the world that the battleship was dead and that aircraft carriers was going to be the driving force of the future.

The entire KM sortie into the north sea among the fleet is the pride of the KM Bismarck and her sister Tirpitz. The RN sortie in response to the KM sortieing among the home fleet is the flag ship KGV,POW and the pride of the RN HMS Hood. The Aircraft carriers HMS Glorious, Courageous and Victorious ...

The implacables were completed in 42 but commissioned in 44 could we have them in say late 42 to combat the loss of the usn carriers in the atlantic?

Still sunk by the USN or the RN.

I must be wrong. those soviet BBs would give the germans a good run though.

who would win this battle. The Soviets or the KM? The Soviet BB from what i found out had 15 inch guns in double turrets vs the Bismarck's 15 inch guns.

Forget the battle of the pacific, this would be a battle for supremacy.

The Germans would not be in the pacific but the Baltic,Artic/ north Atlantic, hunting the soviets/ using bismarck/tirpitz as fire support ships for the panzer armies.

Not as heavy as Bismarck.Although i would of loved to see her vs Bismarck or Tirpitz now that would be a battle.

It was indomitable that was supposed to be with them but as it is mentioned above she was damaged. Phillips was a fool to think that a single BB and BC along with four destroyers could stop them.
