Been winning my wars by using my tech advantage "subs". Blockading the enemy to submission. USA probably believed that I have to be curtailed after getting all the French posetions in africa and Caribean. Got Greece as well after a whim from my army fellas. So the war begun. And its 1922.
US got some 20 BBs and I got 6 BBs 4 with 15,5 inch armour and 8x15/0 major guns and 2 BBs with again 15 inch armour but just 4 15/0 guns but maxing my speed to 27 kn.
Got one major engagement after my 40 + subs strangling US for a year.
Sadly the battle setup paired my 27 kn BBs with the slow 21 kn BBs so no advantage from that. Lost all of the speedy gonzales BBs 2 normal BBs but took a lot of beating before they went under. Low torpedo defence (2) could be a reason to why I lost them. US ended up no loss in BBs but 8 damged.
Anyway I lost that battle and 2 prestige but winning the war just after when USA collapsed making me the proud owner of USS Texas BB 1917 and The province of Maine.
Sadly in a peace conference later I decided to push for shipbuilding regulations and as I had no big ships in the build que I succeded to get all other nations to scrap many BBs and BCs. But the agreement also stipulated to forbid subs. I got 40 and no one else got more 6 each. Guess my reaction. So no edge from that in the near future.
And in a positive note is that just after the war I was the first nation to covert some (5) old CAs to CVLs. So maybee Im fine anyway.
