Aircraft escort needed for battleships amid torpedo threats
The destruction of the Bismarck shows that huge battleships require more than torpedo defense. A protective screen of destroyers and, above all, effective aerial escort aircraft is needed to prevent crippling damage from smaller, cheaper craft.
