Do you are to prove it is not a myth?
What the heck does that mean?
Whatever you claim its a myth PROVE IT

I already asked you to compare the Japanese to American battleline - you ran away
Listen troll - I know you tactics, you try to get everyone to do the research so you can reject it
Ain't workin on me troll
So troll either answer the questions or just shut up, okay?
lol
Nope. You're wrong about the battleships and Pearl Harbor.
Roosevelt lied, sailors died!

Those battleships sunk at Pearl were largely obsolete and too slow for carrier operations, which is why they were sacrificed. They had to be replaced anyway, and new battleships were either being planned or built to do just that. Roosevelt had to have an excuse to get into that war, and he needed a few thousands corpses to do it.
Sorry, you're just wrong, as usual.
No, you prove it first.
You're the one who believes the attack at Pearl Harbor was a surprise.
Well, where's your proof?
Which is why most of them were raised, repaired and sent into the fight. Yes, that that makes sense when you really want to get rid of your ships.
Good point! But lost on SHC who is far to busy running away right now, lol

SHC you are a troll who constantly asked for information - which you reject
You provide no information
I will not provide you information on your claims
Either provide the information or concede the points
he'll find that the Japanese Battleship except for the newly launched Yamato were equal to the modernized US BB and the American ones were actually a bit newer than them.
He's also unable to determine that the BB admirals still had tight control of the US doctrine. At the Army navy football match that year a big banner was floated
I paraphrase
'No battleship under way has ever been sunk by an aircraft"
Which was true but the year prior to that it had said
'No battleship has ever been sunk by an aircraft' the Italian experience vs Swordsfish had made them change the banner.....

We still needed some ships to fight the war with, of course, but we needed to get into that war a whole lot more. Those old battle wagons served their purpose as bait/cannon fodder on December 7, then they were raised to fight another day.
What's wrong with admitting that you're wrong?
So SHc has gone from acusing Roosevelt of having advanced knowledge of Pearl Harbor attacks to outright murder? That's some outrageous accusations... that would need some evidence to back it up. I don't suppose you'll be presenting that any time soon SHC?
OK. You're right. I'll admit I was wrong.
I was wrong to believe you guys had any idea what you were talking about in this thread. You've proven me wrong by being completely clueless about our concentration camp president.
Happy now?
Sure, just as soon as you prove that the attacks were a surprise to Roosevelt.
Good luck!
If you were a Japanese person do you think you could still defend using the bomb?
We had one Yamato, interestingly none of the other Japanese battleships were commissioned after that date (1925) - but modernized - the Oklahoma and such would have been quite capable of taking on the Kongo, Fuso, Ise and perhaps the two Nagato classes.
It was quite obviously correct, as the ships sunk or damaged at Pearl Harbor, no matter how you gauge their operational capabilities, did not constitute the entirety of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. The heart of the fleet was the handful of fleet carriers, which were all conveniently out to sea on December 7, 1941.
Battleships were only considered the backbone of the fleet by some, and they were quickly proven wrong. Forward-thinking naval experts knew that carriers had replaced the battleship as the fleet operations gold standard, especially after the Battle of Taranto and the sinking of the Bismarck.
