Reads like propaganda to me.

"That can better destroy enemy ships" is a properly constructed and sensible thing to say when the actual information is not available and basically, that is all the writer has. American weaponry has always been designed for effect, not to accomplish fancy technical feats.
Like that American submarine of World War II, which has failed to capture the worship of the world like the somehow sexier German U-boats. You can point to technical points where the U-boats were superior, but only one thing matters. The American submarines could better destroy enemy ships.
That's why 250 or so American submarines outperformed 1,100 German U-boats. Saying those submarines were superior because "they could better destroy enemy ships" does not insult the reader. It conveys the essential fact.
I couldn't disagree with your statement any more.
