However, the problem soon emerged that because Fast Battleships were as large as actual Battleships, armed like Battleships and looked like Battleships, Imperial Navy tacticians were tempted to use them as Battleships. In the battle line they proved horribly vulnerable; Fast Battleships proved capable of dishing it out but not take it. They were like heavyweight boxers with glass jaws. Fast Battleships soon proved unpopular with fleet officers and were christened, with traditional naval black humour, as "Kisher's Kombustibles." Fifteen starships of the class were ordered but only ten were produced after three exploded in fast succession at the Battle of Swetz Climb.
