00:00:00 - Intro

00:00:40 - Which aircraft sank HMS Spartan?

00:01:58 - The frying pan mounts on the QE's and Illustrious, what are their official names?

00:04:25 - Various Questions about the IJN

00:10:48 - How effective would something along the lines of the Disney bomb have been as a dive-bomber-borne anti-warship weapon?

00:13:58 - Using coal as armour?

00:16:43 - British ships and flash protection in WW1?

00:22:36 - Is there any data available on the differences in loadout - specifically, how many rounds of ammunition and charges would be on board a given ship (both in peacetime and war) when they were a) in dock and b) cruising / showing the flag, etc.? And how might the different load conditions, temperatures, etc. affect the formation of crystal dust?

00:28:44 - Nitroglycerin dust in the turret - if that was the case would not firing your guns from that turret be sufficient to set off the dust?

00:30:36 - In the historical strategy-computer game Shogun 2 Total War, set in the 16th century Japan, so early age of sail, the player can buy European Ships (Presumably Portuguese carracks), Is that realistic for the time period ? Did European powers during the age of sail sell warships to non European powers?

01:01:47 - Pranks in the Royal Navy played on new crew?

01:04:38 - What was the idea behind the wide variety of guns on pre-Dreadnought battleships? Put another way, why didn't an "all big gun" ship get built sooner?
