00:00:42 - Standard-types vs Iterative designs for battleships?

01:00:44 - Had the 1933 Operations IV Wargame ended differently, and the US had not revised War Plan Orange, is it conceivable to think the United States would not win the war in the Pacific or that combat would be elongated by several more violent years?
