Which of pair of ships representing a particular city & region would you say have the most impressive resume? 00:26:09 - Why not send KGV with PoW and Hood? 00:31:07 - On what does Carrier Capacity depend and could for example the Shokakus have been built with more Space for more planes? 00:35:13 - Later Age of Sail Galleys? 00:38:33 - The Marine Nationale built up rather sizable fleets prior to both World Wars but then appear to have played relatively minor roles in both wars. Can you outline The Marine Nationale's operational contributions to WW1 and WW2? 00:43:02 - If the Royal Navy had humored Vickers and selected their 14" gun instead of the 13.5", what effect would that have had on the arming of the Queen Elizabeth and subsequent classes or ship, and at Jutland? 00:48:02 - How long was the period during which ships at sea around the world could receive transmissions from large land-based radios, but could not reliably reply in turn? 00:51:06 - Would U-47 have been more effective as a minelayer? 00:53:39 - Can you tell us your opinion of Admiral Byng's court martial and (separately) the punishment? 01:02:10 - If naval aviation had proved itself alot more in WW1 would that affect the opinion on Carriers at all?
