Battle Boats Are Tech

In modern warfare what would the best implementation for any form of battleship or are they essentially all obsolete?

Also, general tech implemented on boats.

>Secondary guns

Found your error right there.

So... replace them with more main turrets?

Replace them with armor.

Add dual purpose guns to act as AA and secondaries.

Never actually get in a situation where you need to use secondary guns.

And aircraft carrier. Maybe put some anti-missile defense on the ship, and have a nuclear sub guarding it, but advanced weaponry on the actual craft is kind of pointless. At this point the navy should only be use to supplement and improve the airforce's effectiveness, since the airforce is superior in basically every way

there are 2 modern battleships
the ones that have a landing strip for planes and the ones who dive underwater to escort them

traditional battleship ended with the rise of jets

>Planes see subs.
>Planes cover more distance.
>Planes are smaller thus harder to hit.

You aren't wrong.

>tech board
>posts boats

What about destroyers? They have been made for modern scenarios.

Am I wrong that they are tech though?

...

Destroyer != heavily armed and armoured battleship.

Damn battleships were cool.

I didn't specify dreadnaughts, just a battleship. More general.

those exist to protect aircraft carriers too

So they do have a modern use.

destroyers arent battleships though

I agree.

Basically are.

Just to point out the obvious, but neither carriers or submarines are heavily armored or armed. (although submarines can be heavily armed)

Basically are.

Carriers can be but it's impractical given they would need some mobility.

thats like saying a mosin nagant is an assault rifle
or more in Sup Forums terms its like saying linux is an os

It's rather that armor is pointless when you can just launch a missile with a nuclear warhead at the vessel and turn it into an irradiated hulk.
It takes just 1 surface to surface missile or even a torpedo hit to knock out a carrier regardless of whether it has armor.

True.

On the flip side
>Subs can patrol longer than planes
>Subs carry bigger weapons than planes
>Planes are easier to see than Subs
It is nowhere near as easy to find a sub from a plane as you seem to think it is. The ocean is a big place and Subs are extremely hard to detect.

Of course this ignores the fact that any competent force would be using both.

So I have specified a a type but not an exact. Yeah, basically.

I'd say that while subs are made to deflect it, sonar could still be very effective. Planes can fly high enough where it is just as difficult to spot and if a sub fails, you likely aren't going to survive. Planes have a slightly better chance to kill the pilots.

Valid point on the fact both are needed.

Semi-submersible arsenal ship.
Basically gunboat diplomacy in action..

I miss Teddy Roosevelt.

Linux is an operating system.
