Big-gun subs had bad luck
@David Axe, the lesson is the same now as it was a century ago:
Innovation without clarity becomes complexity. Innovation with clarity becomes dominance.
The navies that won weren’t the ones with the strangest platforms. They were the ones that knew what problem they were actually trying to solve.
Leadership hasn’t changed much either.
Thank you. The bit about aiming the 12” guns using a bead on the muzzle was new news for me.
Fascinating history
