You look at the fate of the Hood, even the Yamamoto, the Bismark, and other super ships and how for all of their armor and massive guns, they just weren't great war platforms.

They had absolutely no defense beyond passive defense (i.e. armour), so no matter what you do, if you get hit by enough shells, bombs or torpedoes (or just a lucky hit in exactly the wrong place), you WILL sink. It is a weird psychological space I am sure...
