[RFC] Wet Navy?

[robkelk]

Not too sure about the exact cause of demise for the Musashi, though I am certain that it was indeed aircraft as well. It's the reason why aircraft carriers feature so prominently in the US Navy these days.

Musashi was indeed sunk by aircraft attacks, during the Battle of Leyte Gulf. (I'm not sure whether her rudder was taken out, but in those straits, she didn't have room to maneuver anyway...)
