00:00:00 - Intro

00:00:41 - When the US was in the middle of their prohibition against alcohol from 1920- 1933 what would the Royal Navy do if they had to visit the US at the time?

00:04:19 - Under what circumstances could one realistically end up with a WWII-era battleship or fleet carrier's crew having to fight off an actual full-scale boarding action?

00:10:46 - How usual was it to have battleships have their guns replaced by a greater number of lower caliber guns? Would it make a difference?

00:15:35 - The USN was able to build floating drydocks, some big enough to handle Iowa-Class battleships, but why were there no floating slipways?

00:19:56 - Why do navies build dedicated training war ships, in the steel and steam age, like Jeanne d'Arc? Why not use ships who are in service as war ships.

00:25:05 - If you could swap out Bismarck with any other WWII-era battleship design (and no non-battleship warship) for the sake of the Kriegsmarine, which ship would you choose?

00:31:07 - Of the two ships lost in Force Z which was the bigger loss Repulse or Prince of Wales?

00:34:42 - What could the royal navy get with a battleship with the same tonnage as Bismarck?

00:36:55 - Would the M Class submarines have been effective?

00:39:22 - Would it be possible to have a turtleback citadel and an 'all or nothing' armour scheme at the same time?

00:41:30 - In the automotive world, I've seen some channels that make me think, 'What are you doing?!?' No need to name names, but what do you think are things that other Youtubers do that smear real historiographers like yourself and others?

00:48:45 - Could Enterprise (CV-6) have been used for the Japanese surrender ceremony?

00:51:20 - Where do we see the first gunpowder weapons being used on ships as a regular thing?

00:52:56 - Best WW1-era cruiser?

00:57:03 - How did Nelson and Villeneuve get to command the respective sides at Trafalgar?

01:04:48 - Bligh was the only officer on board the Bounty and the ship didn't have marines on board. Was this unusual for such an extended voyage and did either contribute to the mutiny?

01:07:16 - Quick visit to the US in Feb 2024?
