Re: Lt. Col. Robert E. "Pappy" Haynes,
Scott,
Mostly because they did not in fact sink any battleships. Roma was sunk by German Do 217s in September 1943. Ship recognition by most anyone from above 10,000 feet is abysmal. A claim to have sunk a ship of class n should probably be reduced to a claim to have attacked a ship of class n-1 or n-2. Battleship ==> Cruiser. Cruiser ==> Destroyer. ... rowboat ==> surfboard. I rather suspect that the total number of battleships claimed sunk in World War 2 may in fact exceed the number of battleships that served in World War 2. Across the board. Enjoy! Frank.
