An FAQ video (in planning) (Patreon)

Hello everyone! So, I'm planning for an FAQ video to be released at some point next month, hoping to cover a dozen or so questions that show up all the time. So I'd like some ideas as to what questions you see people asking all the time that you'd like to see included.

A couple of obvious ones are "What are the bars or lines on WW1 battleship hulls" and "HEAT/HESH vs a battleship", but what else should I include?

The difference between a boat and a ship. Why haven't you covered XYZ (aka how the channel works + patreon and discord(?)) Why is the channel set up to 1953? Following this: where someone can find you talking about past the 1950s stuff How to submit questions an so on Basic anatomy of a ship (age of sail to ww2 - this is a rudder, stern, poop deck, castle etc.) Types of propulsion - what is what (especially all the funny steam engine types). The "financial worth" of a ship of the navy through the ages (aka why a ship of the line in the 16th century isn't worth the same a ship of the line of the 18th century isn't worth the same as USS Iowa or sth. like that) The different types of steel/armor (krupp, harvey)

Not really answering your question, but I think a project that would really help here is getting a bunch of volunteers to compile drydock questions going back to the first ever drydock using the timestamps which would then be used to create 1) a searchable/linked database of all your historical answers and 2) a list of the most commonly asked questions which could later be used to inform questions to answer in the FAQ video. The Excel file on the website only covers a tiny slice of history at this point.

afaik there is already an updated list somewhere (in the discord maybe?) because I had this idea last year too and drach told me that is exists. The second aspect to think of is that the answers to similiar questions sometimes cover different aspects so the view/compilation has either to be the fully searchable transscript and tagged accordingly or someone has to cut all of the similar Qs and fitting As to an encyclopedia type video

How you re-line large caliber weapon barrels. Cheers

Usage of prefixes to ship names from navies that officially don't use prefixes for their ships. Why some hybrid ship types like the battle-carrier doesn't work.

If you visit his video on "Naval Engineering Disasters" he spends several minutes explaining why the hybrid battle-carrier Ise did not work.

Thanks for the answer, though I'm not actually asking here, just suggesting a topic for FAQ. Sorry for not making it obvious.

Something that caused a lot of confusion for me for some time, what is super firing turret.

https://youtu.be/PHIEC3Ns9ms Well Drach, I think you'd look rather fetching hurling binoculars off of this as you sail to various museum ships. Just needs a touch of work.

Explanation of different ranks and their roles. Also what's the difference between commissioned/non-commissioned officer and other suchlike for us non-english native speakers.

You once did this sample of a 10 min intro to the period of the channel. I would loooove to see that taken up again.

Why are the muzzles on AA guns such as the pom-pom shaped like a trumped.

Guards against gunflash. So you can see what you are shooting at.

What would US Navy use if Bofors was unavilable. Seriously, I've seen the iterations of this question pop up in every fifth drydock or so. (spoiler: it's pom-poms)

The booms used transfer people from smaller boats on/off bigger ships are seen in many photos. How did the men use them to transfer between the two vessels? Did they climb up a rope and walk on top of the boom or something else. An explanation of many of these small 'everyday' things on board navy ships would be nice. Maybe a special video instead of a part of FAQ even.

Why wooden decks on steel battleships?
