I'm not sure you could answer that without access to classified information. Maybe if you create a fictional 'realistic' missile?

Allen Lungren

Is it possible to armor a ship that is resistant to non-nuclear anti-ship missiles like the P-700 Granit? If not, is that due to displacement concerns, cost vs intercept systems, etc?

Wouldn't the "type of warship that was least effective" be the torpedo boat motherships?

If a battlecruiser is effectively an anti-cruiser battleship, was there ever such a thing cruis-destroyer?? If not, what would it look like, medium size cruiser with 100mm autocannons?

Spencer DeRosier

What if Von Spee had the Seydlitz & the Von Der Tann battlecruisers? Rather than their dated armoured cruisers? I think the brits would have still won the war. Since they shamelessly begged for assistance from those, who'd they previously suppressed. A century and half or so prior.

Regarding second class battleships. How would you rate the Swedish ships that kept the Kriegsmarine at bay? We're they second class or something else. It seems a heavily armed, armored, maneuverable, but slow, coastal battleship would be just the ticket for home defense.
