@Hyper Shinchan, the WWI German BCs sacrificed a bit of firepower (number and size of guns) and a smidgen of speed (compared to the British) instead of armor. Kevadu is referring to advances in engine technology in the 20's and 30's, which allowed 27-30 knot capital ships to be a reality without sacrificing armor or armament. Or, 32 knot capital ships if you threw enough $$$ at them to do so. (USS Iowa-class)
