Drachisms of the Day:
13:02 "Oh, look at me. I've got such a big battleship.
Insert relevant 'compensation joke' here thing."
14:02 "Now, it has been pointed out to me that I have recently
been answering multi-part-questions in the correct order. This
is heresy and must not be stood for. So, in the reverse order...."
17:59 "And, as for just how lethal these things could be, there's a
reason why an awful lot of people who flooded ships magazines
and saved the ship by doing so, ended up being awarded those
medals posthumously."
18:37 "The rigid airship, as lovingly modeled here, by USS Akron."
21:34 (in regards to rigid airships) "You could just divert over
another country and ... what are they going to do about it?"
22:22 "Battleships are big. The Earth is CONSIDERABLY larger."
22:45 "Because, to be honest, if you were close enough to a hostile ship
the detailed picture would help you figure out which ship it was,
you were probably far too close."
24:56 "But from this altitude, are you really going to be able to pick out
exactly which ship it is? Wether it's a North Carolina or a South Dakota?
Um...I mean for those of us who are obsessive naval historians, we probably
can do."
29:52 "At the beginning of WW1, the British based the grand fleet for a while
over in Northern Ireland. Umm..so, yeah, good luck with that."
43:51 "But be a much more fightable ship without it's front turrets being
turned into temporary aquariums."
