Only the Battleships are gone.

In their day and age they did that job very well. Much like the CV's and other ships classes that do it today. They follow a long path in classes of ships that did it long before the CV,DDG,FFG or any other outside the Second Class Battleships and sail powered ships before them.
You are merely taking words out of text. What you quoted was in regard to the post that FOG posted nothing more then a comparrison between a countries money spent on subs and one spent on capital ships. Nothing to do berating any other class of USN or other ships.
"Only the Battleships are gone.
