  1. Drachisms of the Day: 3:50 "Eww, well. This one's a little bit of a doozie. Innit?" 15:26 "And before this entire episode turns into 'The Adventures of Admiral Drach, Royal Navy'." 19:02 "Once it gets going, it's gonna get going at a pretty sharp clip. And good luck stopping it." 26:58 "At the battle of..um..I have no idea how to pronounce this. The battle of Me Yong Gim Yang. Question mark?" 30:17 "And, as well the name suggests, this was a dispute in the early 1960s over...who should have the right to fish for lobsters. Well I suppose the UK got involved in the Cod War, so this is really not THAT much more absurd. Although there is the rather interesting premise of whether a lobster is a fish or not." 35:24 "The war started earlier than they expected, um, thanks to Germany's antics." 44:58 "Who do you believe are the seven most awful admirals, captains, commanders etc, thru naval history." (The second I heard this question I knew that I'd end up transcribing the entire answer. I'm not doing that. Enjoy listening for yourself. It's a hoot. Here are some samples.) 45.19 "Lest I start getting very angry and ranty again." 46.17 "How the heck do you end up in command of the second largest formation in the British Navy? Just 'How?'. And 'Why?'. 48.22 "You can kinda see how Napoleon wanted to replace him." 1:36:13 "I can't remember from my german-class how you pronounce that weird 'sb' shape in German. Anyway, sorry." 1:38:11 (exasperated resignation) "OK. Fine." 2:01:23 "More important codes that were broken, were broken by the Japanese Army. Who, of course, refused to tell the Navy about it."
