Were not the Enterprise etc the ones that had crew transfers from RN to train for night fighting operational methodologies enabling them to do night fighting operations? Regards

Steel has only to reach the curie point temperature to be structurally unsound, this is several 100 degrees lower than than the melting point; it then bends and does not return. Regards

Heads up Drach, the video from the section "recently discovered the open air ...." has sections of blurry possibly out of focus video in it making it very difficult to watch....

Argosa

34:45 to 36:40 section titled "recently discovered the open air...has parts in and out of focus...almost looks like 3d offset video

Drachinifel

Hmm, it looks OK to me, it's 4k footage, does it look blurry to anyone else?

Argosa

wow, I double checked it before I sent this comment in. It is still blurry (to me). It looks like your video overall is 1080p max. I just looked at it again and I think the issue is when you pan the camera it is blurry as it moves and focuses when you hold the camera still. I have noticed this before with some of the 4k footage I have created. Please review your final ep 184 again, I think you will see what I mean. Perhaps this is something to consider before you do more 4k video. If you think this is important for you I can send you some screen shots if you want.

Drachinifel

Maybe I should make sure to render videos I use 4k footage in, in 4k to avoid artefacting

Argosa

I have read using a steady stick or tripod can help minimized some issues when filming with 4k. Of course the device used is very important....I heard the newer Apple iPhones have very good results once the settings are mastered by the users....

2023-02-08 16:31:35 Q&A: I have read that the Royal Navy adopted the Gatling gun in 1871. Indeed, there are numerous accounts of Gatling guns being used in the South African colonial wars (specifically the Zulu war of 1879) where it is reported that these Gatling guns were operated by Royal Navy personnel, reportedly from HMS Shah. Can you discuss the Royal Navy use of Gatling guns, circumstances of use and whether they made up part of the defensive armament of RN vessels during this period?
