let us imagine an alternate universe where the design philosophy of japan and the united states are switched
a timeline or universe where japan and the united states design philosophy shapewise and thinking are switched in one side japan favours fast paced attacks by using slimmer ships for fast hit and run tactics where smaller guns shoot out more rounds in the other side the united states favours slow paced devastating attacks with heavy fire power and imposing sizes by using giant ships to take the punishment with massive guns with super heavy shells to deal massive damage to the enemy they used radar targeting and detection to accurately deal enormous damage to enemy fleets and kill them quickly
here in this alternate history really switches the shape and philosophical design and thinking of japan and the united states including coloration of their ships and planes

Note: this is just their names swapped for identification and this is just an alternate timeline where their design philosophy and thinking are swapped
