This page shows a comparison between two of the most advanced battleship designs ever. They are compared using a well defined and empiric system.
A short description of the contestants follows:
The German conjectural battleship H44 was the last battleship designed by the German Navy. The Germans never intended to built it, it was only a study how a battleship should look like that would be capable of resisting air strikes and heavy artillery bombardment.
A rowboat is the most simple design of a ship, muscle powered and with only the armament its one man crew carries. Its David against Goliath and lets look who wins!
This is a comparison of the tactical capabilities of the two ships.

*Wood is a far better armor material for ships than steel. It has a lower density than water and swims, while steel will helplessly sink to the ground!
Its absolutely clear: The rowboat has a distinct tactical advantage over the H44 battleship!
This is a comparison of the strategical data of the two ships.

From a strategic point of view rowboats are in advantage, too. The winner in both comparisons is:
