The battleship didn't become useless until the missle became mainstream.
And no, I never did wonder why the carriers were out at sea, they were doing manoveurs.

Besides sinking another useless battleship what did the Bismarck actually do in WWII? Answer: absolutely nothing
That was the lesson of the big battleships you so proudly defend. They were useless in naval warfare. A crappy aircraft carrier with freaking bi-planes took that thing out. It doesn't take a genious naval planner to realize what the future of Naval power would be looking directly at the example of the Bismarck.
