I remember seeing a documentary about the Japanese Navy during the very
end of World War II. They had this project to create a Super
Battleship, called the Yamamoto.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_battleship_Yamato
It was so superior to every other battleship -- the guns were enormous.
It took years to build, and employed thousands. It became this
project unto itself. However, as the Allies closed in, the Japanese
decided they would have to deploy the Yamamoto.
The thing was, by then American's had superior /airpower/. The ship
went out, and was promptly sunk.
