Now, let us look and compare these two fine warships, their advantages and disadvantages.

Kageryū

Disadvantages

Kageryū, though just as fast, is not as manoeuvrable as Pegasus, though this is minute. She is also not as durable as Pegasus, again minute. The big disadvantage is she is severely lacking in torpedo fire power, meaning she will have little to respond to an enemy battleship.

Advantages

Compare to Pegasus, Kageryū has two main advantages: size and AAA defence. Although she is only 5 metres narrower than Pegasus, she is a whopping 200 metres shorter, while still having nearly the same toughness. This means she is a smaller target and harder to hit. She also has a much better AAA defence of 22 AAA guns, compare to Pegasus's 5. She also have more larger cannons, though no smaller cannons, but also they are mounted in central line turrets, meaning she can dish out more punishment board side, though less than Pegasus frontal.

Pegasus

Disadvantages

She has a lot of unnecessary length to achieve the same toughness, though it is so she can hold more weapons. She also lacks a lot of AAA guns, meaning that if she come up against a carrier, she will have to rely on her speed to catch and sink the carrier before it can launch a decent air attack. Another thing is that her she has less big guns, though lots of smaller guns make for this, but also the turrets are mounted in wing turrets, reducing the number of guns she can bring in a broadside compare to Kageryū, though she can dish out more frontal wise.

Advantages

Pegasus most noticeable advantage in battle is her torpedoes, meaning she can more than handle large warships with ease. She is also slightly more manoeuvrable and tougher than Kageryū.

Similarities

Both rely on speed to fight submarines and both are tough bastards for their type. They both wield plenty of firepower and are versatile warships, with something, passive or offensive, to deal with anything they might encounter, save super warships.

So, people, who do you think will win?

Will Pegasus, the notorious missile cruiser, with high torpedo firepower fly into the winning spotlight?

Or will Kageryū, the Shadow Dragon, with guns and small size, roar its way into victory?

You decide...
