From the creator

00:00:00 - Intro 00:00:41 - When the US was in the middle of their prohibition against alcohol from 1920- 1933 what would the Royal Navy do if they had to visit the US at the time? 00:04:19 - Under what circumstances could one realistically end up with a WWII-era battleship or fleet carrier's crew having to fight off an actual full-scale boarding action? 00:10:46 - How usual was it to have battleships have their guns replaced by a greater number of lower caliber guns? Would it make a difference? 00:15:35 - The USN was able to build floating drydocks, some big enough to handle Iowa-Class battleships, but why were there no floating slipways? 00:19:56 - Why do navies build dedicated training war ships, in the steel and steam age, like Jeanne d'Arc? Why not use ships who are in service as war ships. 00:25:05 - If you could swap out Bismarck with any other WWII-era battleship design (and no non-battleship warship) for the sake of the Kriegsmarine, which ship would you choose? 00:31:07 - Of the two ships lost in Force Z which was the bigger loss Repulse or Prince of Wales? 00:34:42 - What could the royal navy get with a battleship with the same tonnage as Bismarck? 00:36:55 - Would the M Class submarines have been effective? 00:39:22 - Would it be possible to have a turtleback citadel and an 'all or nothing' armour scheme at the same time? 00:41:30 - In the automotive world, I've seen some channels that make me think, 'What are you doing?!?' No need to name names,
