Are you sure we really need more battleships? Playing with 15 inch guns is fun, but they make it too easy to blow everyone else away. Add to that that Hood, Prinz Edward, and Kaiser Wilhelm maneuver like bricks, and I'm left aching for a Fletcher or Buckley.
Battleships don't really fit into the game too well except as the sort of bosses at the end of the game.
Some 5-Inch Cruisers might be fun though

Battleships = bigger/slower moving target for my Sub
As long as there isn't an abundance of them, battleships should be included. (Even just AI). They should be something to be feared and fear can improve a games playabilty. Just look at Doom3.

Although I like the idea of Battleships I think baring in mind the alternate history of this game the battleships should be closer the the WW1 types then the later WW2 ships. That way the range can be closed and the target detection is less accurate. I am still living in hope that TAG will in their great wisdom put in the game the Lord Nelson Class Battleship HMS Agamemnon:)

I would agree with that if the BBs included are any that where compleated by 1920 that would be the likes of the QEs Rs Iron Dukes for the RN I don't know German BBs and the US would get Wyomings up to the NMs so there would still be a large range of BBs to chose from.

Plus having the earlier Battleships means that the range is shorter and the ships are slower, although that said the majority of naval engagements were between the destroyers and cruisers the BB's hardly saw much action.

BBs saw more fleet action in WW1 then WW2 Dogger Bank, Jutland, Falklands, to name but a few though there where still a good number of BBs in action agenst surface ships in WW2 Bismark, Narvik, the Med, North Cape still there should be some capitla ship action include with more then 2 BBs involved but most action should be Cruisers.
But there should be the option to be able to act as convoy escort after all the game was orignaly a Sub v Escort game.
