this reads like what the Japanese did in WWII: racing to build the largest battleship when naval warfare had shifted to carriers and airplanes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_battleship_Yamato).

To be fair, they also built a crap-ton of carriers and airplanes.

To be even more fair, so did we, since neither of us knew ahead of time which or what mix would prove decisive.
