Content

00:00:00 - Intro

00:00:43 - Why did it take the IJN so long to adopt the triple turret?

00:05:47 - Why would the Japanese leave crew aboard when they are about to scuttle Akagi?

00:08:04 - How does impact angle affect the damage caused by a torpedo?

00:15:06 - Is being overweight and having the armor too low in the water a common problem for pre-dreadnaughts?

00:19:27 - Paddle ship bridges?

00:22:12 - First armour tests?

00:24:46 - Would the Supermarine Seafire have benefitted if the RN got the Gloster F.5/34 before the Seafire?

00:30:34 - Why were the aircraft carriers of other nations unable to carry as many aircraft as the American ones despite them being the same size?

00:37:57 - Would the 6th QE have been to Hood as Montana was to Iowa?

00:40:56 - In the film Master and Commander, Jack disguises the Surprise as a whaler to lure in the Acheron. Would such a ruse be considered perfidy in the 20th century, where feigning non-combatant status is prohibited? Or would it be a legitimate ruse of war?

00:47:52 - How would a battle between lines of cruise ships that had a gun in every balcony turn out?

00:50:00 - How did the treatment and/or management of seasickness develop through the period this channel covers?

00:52:01 - Could the Omaha class have been modernized by eliminating her casemate guns and replacing them with a barbette, or at that point is that going down the rabbit hole of being so expensive as to rival a new ship?

00:54:37 - Of the museum ships you have visited, is there anywhere in any of them that is not currently available for access that you hope will be accessible someday?

01:00:42 - When did specialized damage control personnel become common?
