So, I've had a few questions about this and I thought I'd put it to a vote of you fine people!

There are enough 5 minute guides that some navies have had their whole 'run' of certain ship types covered (eg French dreadnought battleships, we've covered Courbet, Bretagne, Normandie, Lyon, Dunkerque, Richelieu, Gascogne and Alsace).

Would you like me to take these runs where they exist and put them together into a single longer video? (Essentially trimming the intro and exit and merged the rest of the videos together).

Additionally, if/when a larger 'run' is completed (for example, for US 'dreadnoughts' there are enough classes to perhaps do South Carolina to South Dakota (1920) and then another one of North Carolina through to Montana), would you prefer those as a single long video or two shorter ones?

I'd split the baby. Maintain the Playlist for the individual ship guides, but create a new Playlist devoted to the new "compositions" of ship guides, with each nation's run complied together, with timestamps posted for each individual ship in the composite guide (drydock style).

IMO this is additional work that isn’t really necessary. Just keep it the way it is.

I prefer stories to engineering anyhow. You are one of very few people who can keep my interest in the minutiae of gun turrets and steam engines. Take your time, don't pile more work on yourself. When you have the extra energy, use it to organize what you have.

Go where your heart and mind takes you Drach. I am quite sure you will do your best which is good enough for us. Besides, it is not your nature to do anything half heartedly.

For a long time I have felt the need to find both ships and major topics. The latter include such things as armour, fire control systems, propulsion, and a few of the offbeat ones such as ship steering, rigs in the age of sail, etc.

Oops - wrong key; new post. Most Drydock questions are, in my view, ephemeral, and are too great a volume for any full indexing system. However, here is a suggestion. Create a Word table or Excel spreadsheet, choice ), or block of say 50 DD numbers. Try it for a recent year (say calendar year 2024) and see how it works.For each DD list its number and date, and then a field with say 10 - 20 topic key words. Suggestion - do not let the pursuit of excellence get in the way of something useful. Ship and class names may well fit in here. Another suggestion - make general use of common national prefixes, and ship numbers, and full capitalisation of ship names. Example - HMAS SYDNEY (1) engaged and sank SMS EMDEN in Nov 1914. Another example - Did you visit HMAS VAMPIRE (2) - D11 while you were in Sydney? I believe she is is the only surviving DARING. The RAN DARINGs (VENDETTA, VOYAGER and VAMPIRE) were the first fully welded warships built in Australia. Pennant numbers (painted on side of ship), and USN hull numbers (similar) are useful, particularly in referencing photos. General request, for the education of viewers such as me. Where readily available, caption photos with ship names, and at least indicative years. My conventions listed here are by no means universal, but you will probably observe them in common use.
