That there is another problem. So if you want to use your larger ships, you will have to go barely any main guns and strip off most armour. I am doing that with my Kongo.

There is one benefit about doing that though. With barely any guns and armour, my Kongo is going out at 40 knots. That means it can quickly complete the mission.
