Question

What is your ideal ship?

Short answer

The preference depends on the period: Malta or Midway among World War II carriers, the Daring class among destroyers, and game-designed battleships with nine to twelve 16.5-inch guns and at least 28 knots.

Notes

An ideal ship depends on its period and the resources available to build it. Malta and Midway are the personal carrier preferences for the World War II period. In the game Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts, the usual battleship preference is nine to twelve 16.5-inch guns and at least 28 knots. Those figures describe a game design choice. The Daring class is the favored destroyer example.
