The era of battleships, like the formidable Yamato and Musashi of Japan’s World War II fleet, faced two significant challenges. Firstly, the evolution of technology led to the development of more practical, efficient, and compact weapons. Secondly, these technological advancements made battleships incompatible with their historical purpose of engaging in long and destructive combat.
Similar to how the emergence of firearms made traditional knights’ armor and fortified castles obsolete, the introduction and refinement of intercontinental ballistic missiles, such as the United States’ Atlas SM-65, rendered battleship weapons less practical. Despite their potency, battleship armor proved ineffective against these new threats.
As technology progressed, military strategists increasingly prioritized factors like maneuverability, stealth, and advanced threat detection systems. However, maintaining a larger ship became expensive and impractical when it came to providing a comprehensive defense system. Moreover, the complexity and sophistication of attacks from various aggressors made huge battleships vulnerable targets.
