  1. Plausibility check - Cruizerg or DD-swarm fleet?

    This is a concept that shows up in the game Hearts of Iron. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was implausible - indeed, I'm mainly wondering just HOW silly it is. The idea is - a large fleet, on the order of a major European power as of WW2, with WW2-era technology and no capital ships...
