I cringe a little when Japs pit their WW2 ships against modern ones.

Like that Appergio show where for *reasons* WW2 ships are brought back to life with super duper bullshitium powered laser cannons and don't forget their all little girls inside.

They lost and need to fucking get over it. There's nothing wrong with being proud of your military history but coming up with absurd headcanon reasons for why WW2 ships would be in modern media is just embarrassing.

A salvo of tomahawks against a battle ship is a good attack. Unless the target is chinese it should be able to break through the defense. But if the target is chinese then. Heh..heh

>>28715697
Zhang have you been messing with that 80 usd simulator again?

>>28714724
You realize the five inch gun on an Arleigh-Burke has a comparable effective range to the Yamato's Type 94 naval cannons with something like 60x the rate of fire? The Arleigh-Burke also has a higher speed, higher cruising speed, larger maximum range, and a missile range ten times that of the Yamato's gun. There is no reason why a modern ship would get into range of a WWII battleship and even if, for whatever reason, the modern ship wanted to get into a gun fight, the WWII battleship would be hard pressed to sink it before getting its radar and communications blasted off by the newer ship.

huh, I wonder if it takes into account the armor scheme that it had where armor was concentrated around the turrets (and magazine and loading system) and the engine rooms. Technically even a SM2 should be able to pen if it doesn't hit the deck armor or those spaces.

Simulators are not fucking real life. There are too many elements not simulated. Simulators are great to test theories before proposal, and that's about it. You use a simulator to train entry-level positions on tactics and systems.

OK, let's try OP's scenario then:

Atago-class DDG (Japanese copycat Aegis Destroyer) vs modernized Iowa BB.

The Atago detects the BB at extended range and launches all of its available AShM at it: Eight SSM-1B (Type 90) seaskimming anti ship missile. These missiles are like the Harpoon and are subsonic.

Let's see how fast the BB gets BTFO by modern Japanese technology.

This. Though, An Arleigh Burke as it is right now would have some problems dealing with something like a Yamato or Iowa. But that's because most modern anti-ship missiles (the 5in gun won't mission-kill a BB, you cna forget about that) aren't exactly designed to go up against armored targets.

Thing is, you can design and refit AShMs with an AP warhead for a hell of a lot less effort than it'd take to build armored warships again. That, or just be fuckin' Russia and break out the Shipwrecks.

>gif is actually a missile half the size of Shipwreck with an inert training warhead

CMANO has random dice rolls for hits against different compartments. Except you are launching HARM against ships, which, of course, will only hit the radars.

You need a certain amount of AP cap still or it'll splatter and crater the armor isntead of going through.

Pic relevant, see that ~3-inches thick solid steel nosecone that's part of the warhead casing? Yeah. Getting hit by a Shipwreck is not something any ship is going to just shake off.

>>28717650
That's great. Except they did have quite enough radar for Yamato to nail Kitkun Bay at Samar from 20k yards through a smokescreen. Oh, and the flat-out best optical FCS of any BB ever built.

Samar is actually kind of bad exampel to bring up considering most stories Taffy 3 losses stories' end in "and then Yamato/Kongo fucked her up". Yamatos gunnery at Samar in particular was some of the best battleship gunnery displayed by any BB during the war.

>>28718235
Hitting the bridge won't stop the ship. Conning tower can continue to serve the same functions and steering the and the turrets can act autonomously if need be.

Though yes, top-attack profiles into the deck are a thing most AShMs can be set to do.

Woops, you're actually right. Gambier Bay was the one I was thinking of. Kitkun Bay was the one she straddled on the first salvo at ~25k yards before having to turn away to evade air attack.

And then there's of course multiple hits vs Johnston and Hoel and the longest-ranged hit scored ever by any BB during the war on White Plains.

>TFW we will never get to reenact the sinking of the Tirpitz with a mass drop of MOABs

>>28718423

But a Shipwreck isn't that fast.

It's low altitude velocity is something like Mach 1.8, or 619 meters/second.

Even with a 750KG warhead, that's not a lot of AP power.

A WW2 era 14 inch gun firing APCBC 680KG@650 mps only has something like 20 inches of armor penetration. It's somewhat lighter than a Shipwreck warhead but it's made of solid hardened steel while a Shipwreck only had 3 inches of it. The cap of an Iowa class's AP round is thicker than the shell of a Shipwreck, and that cap was designed to crumple and save the shell body from shattering.

This leads me to believe an SS-N-19 is still going to crumple flat if it hits the belt of an Iowa, same with the YJ-18.

With a warhead that size sitting inside a 7-ton missile that is itself partially armored against 20mm and all but acts like a gigantic shell cap (the warhead sits in the REAR half of the missile, right behind the main mass of the ramjet engine!), it is quite a hell of a lot of AP power. And that's before you realise it can be set to do a pop-up and plunge down through the deck. And hey, you know what had only a mere 4 inches of steel in it's nose section? Motherfucking Tallboy.

As for "only" 619 meters per second, you do realise that that's only about 10m/s slower than a 16in Mark 8 AP shell fired from a brand-new gun barrel from just about 10k yards?

In terms of kinetic energy, a SS-N-19 isn't even comparable to any WWII naval gun. It most closely comparable to getting hit by pic relevant.

>>28723646
No, SHpwreck doesn't compare to 14-16 inch shells. It compares to a theoretical 32-inch shell. The ship with enough belt armor to have a chance in hell to stop that hasn't been designed yet and there's little chance it ever will.

>And then there's of course multiple hits vs Johnston and Hoel and the longest-ranged hit scored ever by any BB during the war on White Plains.

Johnston and Hoel were hit at practically point blank ranges.

Also, as far as I can tell, White Plains never took a hit during the battle.

>>28725378
White Plains took an under-keel detonation from an 18in shell right during the opening minutes of the battle, at a range of approx. 34.5k yards. This did in fact warp her keel enough to make full repairs impossible and was the direct cause of her not being assigned to actual combat postings for the rest of her career - she spent the rest of the war as a glorified aircraft ferry. (This was in fact more damaging than a direct hit would have been given that 18in AP would have likely just overpenetrated.)

Then Yamato engaged Kitkun Bay, scored straddles on first salvo and was forced to turn away due to air attack.

When she turned back, she then engaged Johnston at approximately 20k yards, scoring three 18in and three 6in from her secondary battery. Then she engaged Hoel and Heerman for several minutes, scoring multiple hits and damaging Hoel badly, before turning away because range became short enough to make torpedo attacks a real danger - which means this was quite definitely not done at point blank ranges, either.

Turning back again after getting out of torpedo range, Yamato found the CVEs completely obscured by smoke, switched to radar-directed blindfire and blew a 4 by 4 foot hole through Gambier Bay at a range just short of 22k yards within about two minutes. After that, she got visual contact on the CVE, Kongo joined in and the two of them scored four more direct hits and near misses with significant shrapnel damage between them. This crippled Gambier Bay's engines, reduced her to a top speed of 11 knots and hence doomed her.

Yamato then passed the already crippled Hoel and finished her off with another six hits from her secondary battery, the only time she actually engaged at a range below 10k yards during the entire battle. She then came under heavy air attack and had to maneuer hard to evade several torpedo drops, losing contact with the carriers again in the process.

And that's when Kurita decided to stop the party.

>>28724505
A Shipwreck only weighs 7 metric tons when it is sitting in its launch box with full fuel and booster rocket attached.

And there is a huge difference between a Mk8, which is mostly hard metal by weight, and the nosecone of a Shipwreck.

>>28725697
You are aware that most of the mass of a shipwreck is in fact not in fuel? And most of the "hard metal" in a Mk8 does ABSOLUTELY JACK FUCKING SHIT for penetration purposes. It's got shell walls that thick to withstand firing stresses, which is not an issue for a missile.

Yes, yes there is a huge difference beween a Shipwreck and a Mk8: That being that the Shipwreck is a much heavier, faster at msot ranges projectile to such a degree that the overall penetration it can achieve makes a mockery out of the Mk8. Battleship shells? Fuck that noise, this thing hits with more impact force than a motherfucking Tallboy.

And what are you blathering about the nosecone? That 3-in cone around the forward end of the warhead sits behind the entire goddamn ramjet engine and most of the mass of the missile - not that it owuld even need that beause that steel egg full of explosives hitting at close to Mach 2 is going to fly right through the belt of any battleship that ever existed.

A guided missile destroyer can just spam a hundred missiles at a target that heavily armored.

The primary advantage battleships have is nobody really has anything that can take it out easily. All anti ship missiles have relatively small warheads, and they don't even hit as hard as the big bore shells those ships were designed to tank.

Only a handful of countries have missiles that could fuck up a BB and they only have a handful of them.

I'm a battleship fan because an Iowa can dump around 2.5 million pounds of ordinance on a target every hour. That's like 50 B1 bombers each hour. Nothing else we have can hit as hard as the battleships.

>2,500,000 pounds of ordinance every hour, man.

Battleships were never given a chance to adapt to modern warfare either. They were designed to handle other battleships arcing fire and direct fire, as well as torpedoes. They weren't designed to deflect armor piercing bombs dropped by planes.

The only thing that could be a threat to a proper modern battleship would be a bunker buster or other kind of kinetic penetrator.

If you made a modern battleship with scramjet shells, the thing could practically never leave port and still provide fire support. It could possibly even outrange carrier launched planes.

Battleships are what they are.

>their guns lacked a blind fire capability and were thwarted by smoke laid by screening destroyers and rain squalls.
