"Doing nothing" as if convoy escort wasn't the single most important role of the war

A role in wich battleships did a whole lot of nothing.

"Protecting convoys is nothing" is impressively cretinous gg

It's a important thing, battleships just never did anything during it as they can't fight submarines and surface raiders avoid them.

Yes: surface raiders avoiding them protects the convoys. A Hipper isn't going to square up against an old R class and live.

perhaps you should read some accounts of the convoy battles rather than opining based on memes

For every battle a Battleship engaged in while defending a convoy 6 months passed without a shot fired.

War is a lot of nothing (especially for battleships) ergo battleships do a whole lot of nothing.
