Too bad both ship did not participate in many battles.
70 years to find MH 370?
battleships didn't fight much in the pacific as battles were dominated by fleet carriers.

wah......if only i could have gone back in time and seen it while afloat............
Battleship tactics are dedicated by the opposition ORBAT and their own forces ORBAT. In the Pacific theatre where carriers are prevalent, the battleship's tactic is to take a secondary role. Although there were battleship versus battleship in The battle of Surigao and also the second Battle of Guadalcanal.
In other theatre where the enemy's ORBAT does not comprise carriers, battle ship versus battle ship was much more common. eg. the battles with Bismark, the battle for casablanca, battle of the denmark straits, etc. these battles involved the german navy which had no carriers.
