  1. Drachisms of the Day 10:01 "The Royal Navy could trade beer and the Americans could trade ice-cream. Which was a massively equitable arrangement for both." 28:34 "trying to catalog all of those, we'd be here till the sun dies" (I felt the same way when I saw Drydock was 4+ hours long) 33:22 "What do you mean, 'Our ships fell completely apart in a typhoon.' That's dishonorable. Tell them to stop immediately." 59:03 "Don't you just love the weird confluence of technologies that was around in the 1910s?" 1:06:33 "She can theoretically make her top speed. If you fancy the experience of being a brick in a tumble-dryer." 1:19:05 "British battle-cruisers get a lot of stick, ummm and, for understandable reasons given that they seem to have a distressing habit of, um, scattering themselves actively to the four winds." 1:33:24 "It meant you EITHER angered the Atlantians, in which case Jason Momoa was about to come and rip you ship in half OR, perhaps more prosaically, you were approaching a rock, which might also rip your ship in half, only without the whole 'sucking you down into the Mystical Underwater Kingdom' part." 1:49:46 "Everyone's like 'Ah! Let us follow this man. He speaks in clear sentences'." 2:46:08 "The Russians and Ottomans fighting together. I suspect the next thing will be dogs and cats living toghter and somebody cracking open the Book of Revelations and noticing four horsemen riding across the skies. But never mind." 2:48:45 "I mean, after all, touching things with considerably longer than a ten-foot-pole didn't work out for the CSS Hunley, did it?" 2:52:58 "this kind of slightly eccentric hysteria kind of just ran away with them" 2:57:00 So that's a grand total of sixteen fleet carriers and, uh, another twenty eight smaller carriers, three french-hens and a partridge in a pear tree." 3:40:17 "a radar equipped Yamato wandering around, wondering what all the ice is about" 3:42:28 "Although, if you did name a carrier USS Congress, it might mean you could legitimately say that Congress was actually doing something for a change." 3:44:33 "His ears must be ringing a little bit." 4:06:16 "That was down to it's captain's seemingly pathological desire to ram everything in sight." 4:12:52 "the US keeps..sort of starts 'turret farming' the twelve inch gun" 4:18:21 "I was gonna put it at the end of this video, but, to be perfectly honest, the chances of the majority of you reaching this point are fairly slim."
