On a serious side, I wonder why WoW isn't a full-time sponsor of the channel yet. It would seem obvious...

A question (not a Q & A) for anyone, can you recommend a book with internal layout plans for King George V and Vanguard battleships? I have a Cunning Plan that includes 3D computer graphic models / wireframes of a KGV battleship and Vanguard. The tricky part is that I need not just the external and deck layout, but internal layout as well. Not to the level of detail in the Anatomy of the Ship books with every girder, but I do want to show where the engine and boiler rooms are, how the magazines and barbettes connect up, where the fire control is. The National Maritime Museum sells plans, but a complete set for HMS Anson would cost me over 500 pounds (plus VAT). I'm OK with paying for books, but that's too much. Do the books by RA Burt include such plans? Any other suggestions?

Q&A: I wanted to ask a High Seas Fleet vs Kriegsmarine question, however most WWI vs WWII fights mostly end up with Speed, Range and RADAR being too much to overcome. So if the Kriegsmarine at its hight had to escort KMS Habakkuk across the atlantic, could the High Seas Fleet at it's hight stop it. (assuming the High Seas fleet has access to a Habakkuk of their own, and both hold enough fuel and ammo to resupply their ships)

Q&A: A question in three parts, I understand those are popular: Part 1; It is Sunday, 23:40, 14th April 1912. HMS Dreadnought is making it's way at top speed to New York City, as a means of showcasing the Royal Navy's ability to respond to threats around the globe, when it strikes an iceberg. What kind of damage does it take, is the ship salvageable, assuming it hits similar to the Titanic, how many survive? Part 2: It's often cited that the crews poor management of the situation (along with not enough lifeboats), contributed to the vast deaths during the Titanic's sinking, if a modern crew, but historical implements (No of life boats etc.) were on board how many are likely to survive, assuming the Birkenhead drill is still in effect? Part 3: I'm half remembering a line from one of those Discovery Channel/National Geographic doco's were some expert stated, 'If the Titanic had hit bow on to the iceberg it would've survived.' Is this true? Cheers for your time.

Q&A:1 I just wondered if you could do a Wednesday special on British submarines. You've covered many US subs, some Germans too, even the French experiment in genital enhancement. But no British that I noticed. You guys built some crazy subs that where far ahead of their time! 2: And could explain what a range clock or a range table is. I've seen photos of some US ships with large clock kind of dials mounted high on the masts,is that the range clock? Thanks for the great content, you've replaced the paper for my Sunday coffee.

2023-02-08 18:13:15 Q&A: If you haven’t already, can you talk about the role of Marines on Royal and US Navy ships in the Dreadnought-era, more specifically their role in manning the turrets/guns?

2023-02-08 18:13:15 Q&A: On squadron flagships, in the era when the admiral was on his own bridge/CIC separate from the bridge of the specific vessel, how were his squadron orders relayed? Was there one sailor on a voicepipe/intercom relaying down to the bridge, or maybe a runner? Are orders relayed directly to the ship's captain to relay just as he would were he receiving orders via radio/flags, or is he short circuited?
