Thre's always been a latrine rumor that the US considered transferring the USS Oriskany - the most modern of the Essex class - to Britain when the RN had to scrap Eagle and Ark Royal. Not sure if she could have operated Phanthoms (IIRC, the RN's aircraft were adapted to a smaller carrier than a Midway)

is that the Lexingtons were a God awful design - a death trap for its crew. Second, the British did have one ship with named turrets - HMS Agincourt, whose seven turrets were named after the days of the week

As long as there are timestamps in YouTube to jump around, I prefer the longer ones. But if it becomes too much time for you, of course, split as needed. If any help needed with research or editing or QA, my services are available for free; with the caveat that you get what you pay for ;)

Hey Drach, I think you should do whatever feels best for you and your mental health. Though have you considered perhaps getting someone to share the workload with you? Wild example, get Jingles or Dr Clarke to voice the 5 min guides to take some load off? (if its economically viable of course)

I'd be fine either way. The timestamps are the key. They provide so much help to me. I am quite time constrained, so to see which questions are answered and to skip those I am not particularly interested in is priceless. And as second, if you prefer to split to (assumingly) reduce your workload I'm fine with that. I got the impression you deliver an enormous amount of content. The preparation for this must be quite time consuming as well.

Since I seldom watch these in one go anyway, shorter drydocks might actually make it easier to keep track of where I am and not miss things.

If you do mix things, up, perhaps it can coincide with Drydock 200, to make it easier to remember where the switch occurred? (Of course, if Drydock 200 isn't a Patreon drydock, I guess that doesn't work -- I lose track of which week is which).

While I think that I would prefer to retain the current general format, I think that it would be useful to have some kind of a divider section, so that those who want something slightly more digestible in two pieces would have a discernible breaking point. Whether this is a timestamp or some other device, such as a small musical interlude from the Drachinifel Symphony Orchestra), it might be useful to set yourself a midpoint so that we have a place were we can readily go back to if we have an interruption or similar need to pause.

Question: Does this mean you'd do one fewer total drydocks over the course of the month? If that is the case, would you simply answer fewer non-patron questions, or would the non-patron drydocks get longer? For the record, I think it is completely reasonable if you answer fewer non-patron questions to make up for the increased number of patron-questions. Your workload has got to be massive by now, and I'm much more worried about you burning out than I am worried about getting slightly less content from you.

As a truck driver the 4 plus hr drydocks make my day go by quick. As a matter of fact I got so involved listening missed my exit while driving and didn't realize it for 27 miles

I like the idea of breaking up drydock episodes into shorter parts simply because the longer the episodes go the more likely it seems that YouTube gives up on the timestamp info. Not sure what the cause is but usually between 2:30 and 3:30 you stop being able to see what the section subchapters are and it just gets stuck on the last one for the remainder. For example in Drydock 192 everything after the 2hr mark is labeled "Concrete Ships?"
