Jon,

In what way do you think they were misused? Would like to hear more about your thoughts.

Indeed it is. What a terrible waste of 2 capital ships. Entirely mis-used IMHO.

Yes, I know no capital ship had been sunk underway by aircraft up to that point, so there was a bit of mis-placed confidence that is easily understood.

I believe this is the anniversary of the loss of the Prince of Wales and Repulse.
