Wow, only eight battleships were around in WWII? I suppose the navy brass started to see the battleship's days were numbered and that the aircraft carrier was going to replace them. What kind of ship was the Vanguard? It seems by the numbers of BBs in WWII built, that it may have been the biggest of the eight that were built. Anyone know what the last battleship to be built was? Or how many carriers were built during the war by Britain?
