This is now a Crimson Skies thread.
Being serious for a moment, there are so many issues with Zeppelins it's not even fun: an effective lifting gas is either dangerous (ammonia, hydrogen, etc) or obscenely expensive, not to mention no material can effectively stop the lightest gasses from escaping. In theory airship would be amazing for ASW, but due to size and the required lightness they're vulnerable to bad weather, not to mention they're a fuckhuge target waiting to get shot down.

I genuinely don't get all this hype for hydrogen. In practical terms it's a bitch to store and has awful energy density, none of which can be improved by technology because that's just physical limitations.
