Kapitel 331: Chapter 288: Hope-class Battleship_2

If the combat effectiveness of these two battlecruisers is comparable to that of dreadnoughts, then Australasia will be able to welcome five dreadnought-class main battleships, and the navy's combat power can surpass that of bottom-ranking powers like the Island Nation, thus providing some means of self-protection.

With the construction of the Australasian navy, it is evident that the national pride of Australasia is growing higher and higher.

It has to be admitted that, for this era, the navy is indeed the most important branch of all military forces.

A powerful nation can be without a strong army, but it cannot be without a strong navy to protect its coastline and territory.

Of course, landlocked countries are another matter. But in this age of colonization, it is not easy for a landlocked country to become a power.

How important is the navy? It can be said that if Australasia had a few more dreadnoughts, it could really clamor for the status of a power.
