Apologies for the delay, Patreons scheduled posting system screwed up.

I was wondering what had happened, kept expecting a notification. Oh well, I'll just watch it today instead. Keep up the good work.

Q & A: Instead of upping the diameter of a main gun (14" to 16" for example), how often do the naval/ship architects increase the caliber length instead (similar to tank guns going from shorter barrel 75s to long barrel higher velocity 75s in WW2) to improve performance and can you give any examples and possible pros and cons.

It's cool to see my question answered even before I became a patron. An exuse my bad english, I indeed ment to ask about the effects of the raid as opposed to calling it a battle.

OK, what the heck has happened to my question about Q-Ships? If it's still here and I can't see it then OK (but that begs the question "why not?"); if it's been removed, what was wrong with it?

I can still be it above your post just now?

Hmm; oh well, glad it's still there ... just odd that I can't see it at my end although I can see both of your posts. Sorry for the strop ... thanks for the confirmation.
