Conventional answer to question, why is retention of battleships necessary, might be: "because they are backbone of fleet"; author seeks to explain why battleships form backbone of fleet; comparison of battleship with other types of fighting ships; granting that fleet has to have backbone, it must be made of battleships; nothing else is tough enough, because nothing else has size to make it tough enough; that is why battleships must be retained.
