They were always vulnerable to torpedoes hell that’s one of the reasons why the old dreadnaught class was phased out. Regardless they still served their purpose during WW2 as a way to imperfectly fill the hole that modern destroyers now fill, also they were damned useful artillery platforms in the Pacific and during Korea.
They were obsolete after WWI when the first aircraft carriers were introduced.
Come WWII they were food for torpedo bombers.
