The middle of the 20th century saw a marked change in naval warfare, away from heavily-armed and armored battleships to aircraft carriers and carrier battle groups.
Is there any way that this progression could have been changed? What could have happened to allow the battleship to keep a role in modern naval warfare? Could aircraft carriers be relegated somehow to a secondary role? Are there any new types of ships out there that could have supplanted both the aircraft carrier and the battleship?
