Yeah, the battleships. Great armor, but rendered vulnerable by aircraft with bombs and torpedoes.
The whole postwar design evolution for warships seems to have practically abandoned armor for warships. If they get hit these days, they pretty much sink. Defense today means state of the art counter-electronic warfare measures (confuse the incoming missiles).
Missile stocks get expended quickly in combat. The advantage now will probably go the navy that can keep its logistics working while the warships are at sea.
The drone threat is huge. Carriers with aircraft refueling and rearming are especially vulnerable.
