You list is rather diminished by the last three, two pre-dreadnought and a coastal defence ship; a total of 8-12in and 2-11in guns don't quite make a whole single dreadnought.
Where's the list of carriers sunk by dreadnoughts?
There are only two:  Gambier Bay and Glorious.

Fighting carriers isn't a dreadnought's job.  They are weapons of heirarchical warfare, and therefore fighting carriers was beneath them.

in this case the dreadnoughts are below the carriers, many fathoms below the carriers.  :lmfao:

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Carriers sunk two draednoughts, and dreadnoughts sunk two carriers.  They seem equally effective.  Mind you, both submarines and carriers killed more carriers than dreadnoughts did.

You never commented on my Bismarck at Jutland thread Neil.  :(
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
