Battleships were once the most powerful ships afloat, but the U.S. Navy stopped building them after World War II, and it isn't looking like they'll ever build them again. In this video, we break down why battleships faded from modern naval strategy, why missiles and aircraft replaced big-gun ships, and what it would actually take to build a battleship today. From the cost of armor and crew to survivability in the missile age, here’s the real reason the Navy moved on and why battleships will remain a thing of the past, even if we all wish they wouldn't.
