How would G3 fare against Iowa?
Short answerTheir capabilities are close enough that the outcome could depend on command, with no firm winner when both have highly capable commanders.
NotesIn this hypothetical contest, G3 and Iowa are close enough in capability for command to decide the result. Different choices of commander change the preferred winner. Putting equally capable commanders against each other leaves the outcome uncertain. The comparison therefore gives considerable weight to how the ships are fought.
