Hey, the Airdales sank the Yamato too.
Took most of a day and around 400 aircraft, entirely unopposed, but they sank her.

Yep, and the RN will have several capital ships in Home waters in 1940 just waiting to soak up the bombs of the LW. Sure the RN ships of 1940 are not as tough as the Yamamoto, but then again the LW of 1940 isn't a patch on the ship killing power of the USN in 1945.
It's all a bit formulaic; a plane carries a bomb, a bomb can sink a ship, therefore no ship can live near a plane let alone achieve anything.
