а что саму статью-то целиком людям не предложить к ознакомлению?

On 20 November, Nimitz informed Washington that he needed no additional tankers.
А ЛК в бой не пошли. Само это Вами процитированное "или или" ("either or") уже полностью говорит о статусе линкора на 1942 г на ТО ТВД (по крайней мере, в глазах Нимица): чемодан со сломанной ручкой. Да, собственно, если вкратце, то вся статья об этом и есть.
Цитата целиком, цифирь интересная
Although all of the capital ships in the Pacific consumed prodigious amounts of fuel, the battleships of Task Force One were by far the least economical. At a cruising speed of fifteen knots, the carriers and the new "fast" battleships required approximately 1,100 and 950 barrels per day respectively. The "old" battleships required approximately 1,200 barrels per day. These requirements could quickly outstrip the storage and tanker reserves in the Pacific. Task Force One and her escorts (four to six destroyers) would burn in excess of 300,000 barrels of oil per month. The force needed less than thirty days at sea with its escorts in order to devour everything that could be stored in the South Pacific. If the Task Force tried to operate at high speeds, which for the battleships was only an increase in speed of three to four knots, the time to consume the oil accumulated in the South Pacific decreased to under ten days. The carrier task forces, which included two carriers and eight to ten-escorts, were expensive as well, consuming approximately 225,000 barrels of oil each month. Given the number of tankers available and the oil storage available, logistically the use of carriers and battleships anywhere but on the West Coast of the United States was an "either or" proposition.
Хорошо подходит выражение аэродинамика К.П. Петрова (много совершил для ракет и Бурана): "Комиссия должна сделать выбор между безнадежно больной лошадью, которая поедает хороший овес, и ничего кроме навоза делать не может, и покупкой здоровой лошади для выполнения работы".
