I have read a lot of the modern battleship designs on this forum. Some, such as Defcon 6's BB(X) were very good and had a lot of thought put into them and their role in modern naval warfare. If actually built, I'm sure the BB(X) would be a fine addition to any modern navy.
But what are we doing with such fine designs? We let them stew, here on the internet, while we debate each other pointlessly on the pros and cons of "Fully Armoured Battlecruisers" as the Brits called the dear Vanguard. But I just need to know something: Are the Pro-BB people here actually doing anything with these designs they think up? Are they writing letters to the Secretary of the Navy? Are they submitting their designs? Are they publishing reports on the possibility of a modern battleship? So far as I can see, no. So, what exactly are you doing to promote modern battleships?
