Fantastic video as always Drach. On the topic of destroying oars on a rowed warship, oars had the habit of jumping back/forward as they were destroyed. This could cause terrible damage to the rowers, broken limbs etc. If you don't believe me, let someone whack you with a broom stick about a dozen times and see how you feel. The Royal Navy cruiser force in the interwar and WW2 period was filled with some very beautiful ships. Not an important factor in a warship but still, it's nice. The tall funnels in the earlier ships remind me of some of the high speed liners. Lastly, I'd LOVE to host a company retreat or meeting in a Ballistic missile submarine engine room. That would be amazing and pretty cool.

@chrisanderson8207 obviously that's the case but it was just an example and the best one I could manage.

@chrisanderson8207 oh it would be awful no doubt, broken arms, possibly impaled on broken oars, shattered face and crushed skull. And that's if you aren't killed by a ship ramming into right where you are seated.

@glennricafrente58 I remember that, it makes perfect sense.
