One of the recent posts asks about putting the Littorio class BB's into the mix While they were a pretty ship I'm not sure there in the same class as the Iowa's, Yamato, KGV's or Bismark They seemed vunerable to topedo attacks and if I remember correctly the Roma was sunk by a german glide bomb( the precussor to the harpoon) which most of the people posting here believe would not do much damage to an Iowa. The best BB is the one with the best blend of speed ,armor and firepower with a bit of luck thrown in for good measure

That's OK, I'd forgotten about the Stark!
