Calling Warspite the greates belies the fact that one of her sisters, HMS Barham, was sunk by only three torpedoes from U-331. That Warspite survived more battles and recieved more awards than any other battleship attests mostly to crew quality and luck.
How would Warspite have fared in a one-on-one battle with any of the other ships listed?
