Tho Japans naval strength was pretty incredible

Well the plan was Nazis take Europe, japs take the Pacific and hit both coasts

But Hitler SOILED IT

And Germanys was a glorified flotilla

Japan are pretty good at getting nuked

But amerifags stopped it<:think_hang:378717098903470080>

German navy= 2 battleships
2 fucked up undergunned battleship/battlecruiser things
2 pre Dreadnoughts
3 heavy cruisers with battlecruiser guns and like...8 other cruisers

Ww1 german navy was fucking huge tho

And a few submarines.

The big problem for Japan was that destroying the us fleet in pearl harbour was a blessing in disguise for the us

True

japs were signing their own death warrant lolo

And Germany did loose a lot of fleet power when they invaded Norway

vikings know how to boat

Never a good idea to sail in front of the huge coastal battery uninvited with your brand new battleship

Germany never needed a fleet anyway

They never couldve even touched the royal navy's asshole

Btw. AFAIK germany was a naval power to watch out for

Or especially wartime Americas

Germany was a naval power to watch out for in 1914-1918...but not 1939-1945

And a big factor that Germany was able to invade Norway in the time it was able to was because Sweden did betray I neutrality and allowed the German army to use Sweden railroads to transport military personnel and supplies

Except uboats

Lacking in tactical decisions.

@Nordhand OG cucks

"pls fuck my wife"

@Duke of Mecklenburg dont need a navy when your doctrine is land and air based

Plus itd be kinda useless in the European theatre

They Still mad tho. Worth it

@Nordhand is the blucher still at the bottom of the Oslo ford?

Back then battleships were a powerful force to be feared. The bombardment from battleship under d day made it impossible for the germans to counter attack

@galesteppes yea

Most of it. It designated a war graveyard now irr

Rip the Bismark

Went out like a champ tho

To bad it was fucked over by ww1 sea planes

So did the Yamamoto

Yamato*

But the Yamato got rekted by ww2 era planes

Still went out swinging

I will say that the swordfish seaplane was a insane good airframe as it was in service until the end of the war
