Also want to point out that this is almost all theoretical doctrine. There hasn't really been peer-level fleet combat since WW2 so realistically we can only guess at what kind of doctrine and weapons work and which don't.

We can only guess. But every single thing the US puts out about its doctrine, about its capacity and about its plans are about how much they can't wait for China to try to build a modern-but-slightly-out-of-date Yamato (For some reason) so they can do the pacific campaign but better.

Not sure if you meant the battleship or just Japan in general, but funny either way
