A Lexington is a T8 CV, FDR is T10. And just because planes don't die doesn't mean it's good. GK is arguably the hardest to kill BB if the player playing it isn't an idiot, but still you don't see it ever in anything competitive, unless it is being absolutely stupid hard to kill that is what you want from it. Similar deal with FDR. Its attack speed is poor, its accuracy is a joke, its plane restoration is terrible. In randoms, the biggest threat to a CV isn't that you can't kill things, it's that the enemy CV kills them faster or your team dies faster than you can kill the opponents. Compared to how fast an MvR or a Haku can kill ships or seriously cripple them (thus getting impact and close out the game), the FDR is poor, but most enemy CVs aren't exactly stellar, so even with a mediocre CV, you can likely outcompete an opponent. And sure, they will lose more planes. But they also regain more planes.

Kremlin is the tank not GK

Overall, no, GK is imo still the more hard to kill ship. Kremlin can deal with fires better, until it runs out of damecon and has one less repair and while it is uncontested when angled, it can get punished with cits when outflanked. GK with tank build basically is just going to die fast to focus fire, but when angled, it won't die fast, when not angled, it still is only going to take the normal pens and laugh. Kremlin honestly manages to be better than GK mostly because it doesn't suck in so many other ways and isn't played by people who think they have to play secondary spec yolo runs with no care about where the enemy team is.

I know you won't believe me - but some people convert the small amount of the steel they get here and there, to get a coal ship. Yes. 

Maybe and there is certainly a incentive but not many people will trade 1k Steel for 10k Coal.

Somers is perhaps a bigger one since its going away too but how many people will get Somers?
