Q&A: The manufacturing and logistic ability of the US during WW2 is the stuff of legends. But to get a better idea of it, could you do a more expanse "alternate history" of how the US would have dealt with the Japan if they did not have to focus on a Europe First strategy (for: "reasons" ;)). What would have America's strategy been and how would it have played out with American industrial capacity and entire military might focused on the Pacific theater instead of being divided between Europe and Pacific. I know you have hinted at possible outcomes but I would like a more detailed explanation. If you have already done this please direct me to which video it was in. (Feel free to summarize the question as well.)

You have been tasked by the Admiralty to build an aircraft carrier in 1936, with the plan being to get it commissioned by the start of World War 2. You are replacing those who designed the Illustrious-class. You have seen what the Americans have come up with, with the Yorktown-class and Wasp, and what the Japanese have come up with, with the Shokaku-class. What designs do you put into the HMS Drachinifel?

Q&A: 1) Between the Australia Squadron and the Imperial Japanese Navy who was in a better position to intercept Von Spee in 1914? 2) Have you watched the anime High School Fleet? If not do you plan to?

Q&A: What if the Japanese threw the baby out with the bathwater and converted the Ise and Fuso class battleships into carriers, calling them "large decked transports", what with them being rather long turret farms? How would they have fared? Would the extra need for pilots have improved the speed of the Japanese training program? Would the creation of four extra carrier hulls for the Japanese in the 1920's just result in the American, British, French, and possibly Italian (if Il Duce is promised Formosa or something) ganging up on the poor Japanese?

Drach, in your talk about turbo-electric propulsion, I was thinking about the time in 1930 when USS Lexington provided power to a drought-stricken Tacoma Washington for about a month. Obviously this was only possible because of the nature of the turbo-electric main propulsion plant - but was it something that got jury-rigged with improvised connnections, or had it been the result of a bit of contingency engineering to build into the ship a means to provide such emergency power generation?

2023-02-08 18:14:42 Q&A Drach, Do you think, that the battle of the North Cape, would have turned out any differently if, Leading Stoker Harry Fursland, hadn't been closed up in the port diesel compartment of Belfast ? and if so how ?
