And how many 8 inch shells took to sank a little DD?
A whole lot more than we need now.
Easy to dodge? Try saying that to a kamikaze fubu that border hugged and got behind you while you're distracted firing down range (the opposite way). You can't dodge/out run some of those. Not in a CA or above. Yes, you can keep an eye for them. But you can't be aware at all times. And I, as a partime fubu TW, am rather thankful for that.
I can never believe how people still cling to the idea "My nation has an advantage, don't try to nerf it! It's the only thing we have!" Fine, you have an advantage, good for you. But if everyone gets, say, a +1 short sword, a +1 buckler...and then you come out with a +8 Vorpal, keen, dancing sword of firey blast, there's something wrong.
Not all advantages are equal.
