The Drydock - Episode 293

From the creator

00:00:00 - Intro 00:00:52 - Between the Matsushimas, Kitakami, Shimakaze, the Tones, the refit Fusos and the refit Ises, which was the worst of the IJN’s “what the hell” designs? 00:05:53 - Why didn't the Germans press any Soviet ships into service with the Kriegsmarine? 00:09:52 - Would 2 Shokaku's instead of the Yamato's extend the Pacific War and if so by how much? 00:19:57 - When HMS Dreadnought was launched, she famously made the pre-Dreadnoughts of the time obsolete basically overnight. But seeing as there was only one of her and it would take a while to to replace a whole fleet, were there any plans to modernise some of the pre-Dreadnoughts? And if yes, what did this pre-Dreadnought modernisation look like and how much could you squeeze out of one to make it as useful as possible in a dreadnought world? 00:25:24 - Pronunciation of names? 00:36:09 - Submarine in ANZAC convoy? 00:36:49 - Hypothetically, regardless of any casualties to the Eastern Fleet. How does the IJN go forward with the Battles of Coral Sea and Midway having only CarDivs 1 and 5 making up the Kido Butai? 00:41:35 - How deep into each of the major types of aircraft carrier would an inert 16" shell penetrate (assuming it doesn't hit anything too solid on the way down)? 00:46:28 - Do you think there are any riverine warships from which could be found away from the current path of the river they sank in? 00:49:35 - Was there any way to prevent the reset of gun size from the 413mm main battery
