In response to the question about missing questions, mine have all been answered. A good number were moved to non Patreon drydocks, but they were there, and Thank You Drach!.

If the francesco Caracciolo class was completed as intended, where would you rank them amongst the 1920s battleships and how usefull do you think they would have been in ww2?

My question is: if the battle in the Coral Sea went excellent for the Japanese who didn't lose any aircraft carrier or didn't have to repair it later in the homeland, or/and if at the Coral Sea and Pearl Harbor the US lost one or more aircraft carriers, wouldn't Midway be a guaranteed Japanese victory?
