  1. Drachisms of the Day: 21:53 "They were deliberately going out and colonizing areas, but it was not for imperial acquisition purposes, it was more for, well, either offloading weird religious fanatics..." 38:01 "Or, in some of the German cases, you ended up with ships that sincerely wished to identify as U-boats and would do everything in their power to join the U-boat corp, eh, whenever the waves looked to be more than a few inches high." 47:51 (conspiratorially) "And, I may or may-not have quietly sneaked into a couple history-course lectures without telling anybody that I wasn't actually on the course while I was at university. Um, but we shall say no more about that." 49:07 "Which again, they got very familiar with me." (no judgement) 54:13 "The idea of your own ship basically committing suicide by running up to full speed is not something that you want to take lightly." 57:32 "At the end of the day, nothing quite beats taking a big slab of metal downrange and then blasting away with naval artillery."
