What if Hitler understood naval power?

Would we see the Nazis using an aircraft carrier or two a in the Atlantic? Would we see Bismark and Tirpitz armed with triple turrets? Would we see a Decisive battle like midway in the Atlantic.

Re: possible counters to soviet/russian nuclear battlecruise

possible counters to soviet/russian nuclear battlecruisers

What would be able to counter the emergence of the russian missile/battlecruisers. Hunterkiller submarines or would aircraft be able to overwhelm the gattling guns long enough to sink them.

Re: Tirpitz on the loose

Convoy PQ17 leaves iceland and heads for the soviet union, Now what if Tirpitz under the cover of darkness on a moonless night slips her moorings and heads north, What in the RN and USN arsenal could stop her? PQ-17 had a distant escort of cruisers and battleships: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orde...

Re: Greatest admiral of all time

The Best British admiral of WW2 is not on that list. One Admiral Andrew Cunningham. Taranto his greatest achievement and with only with ONE carrier, He showed the world that the age of the Battleship was dead. He did his job following orders he did not like EG: attacking the French fleet.
