		The Germans probably got their best results from any warship class from the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, which together sank one British aircraft carrier, two destroyers and 19 merchantmen of 115,000 tons; for an investment of over $115 million, Germany eliminated about $32 million worth of Allied shipping.
		Thus, in terms of cost-effectiveness, the four German battleships were a huge waste of Germany's resources that did not justify their creation.
		The real problem with the German battleships, aside from their innate cost-ineffectiveness, was the inadequate German naval doctrine.
