I hadn’t meant battleship in the sense of a large capital ship, but rather something largely automated with a dozen guns/barrels. And volleys in the 100-200 munition range, where you can saturate and push through point defense. My sense of it is that such a ship would be able to engage at a range and volume of fire a lot of current navies would struggle to counter, but I’ll admit that’s more feeling than demonstrated fact. Though, a plane is never going to hold the sheer volume of munitions a ship does: they have to fly and they’re smaller craft. And since Switchblade 600 has a 40km range, you’d have to take your plane awfully close for that plan — whereas artillery extends that. Arsenal Planes are still a good idea though.
