Battlecruiser vs. Battleship: The Fight That Prolonged the War?*Robert Farley* *Security, * Excellent ships like the Lexington were overlooked for bigger, more armored ships, possibly costing the Navy greater losses. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The USN prioritized slow, well-armored battleships that could operate together in a line-of-battle.
