  1. 1:03:50 - I SpringSharped out a G3-fast (32-knot) N3, and it came out over 4,000 tons heavier than Yamato - which, if you account for both the additional displacement needed to go from 28 to 32 knots and the savings from the N3's all-forward layout, is pretty much in line with Yamato being about N3-efficient but for the handicap of a conventional fore-and-aft turret layout.

  2. Different countries. Some (US, UK/Commonwealth) used imperial (or, in the U.S. case, U.S. customary) units for measurement. All the other major naval powers (Germany, France, Russia, Japan, Italy...) used metric units, but commentators from (or catering primarily to users in) U.S./UK/Commonwealth countries, like Drach, will frequently convert metric measurements to their imperial (or U.S. customary) equivalents for ease of comparison (and I suspect that the reverse is also true).

  3.  @hughgordon6435  Four-and-a-half inches is four inches plus 0.5 inch.

  4.  @hughgordon6435  12.5 inches is 12 inches plus 0.5 inch. The only unit of measurement mentioned is the inch; therefore, the only unit of measurement involved is the inch. If feet were involved, they would've been mentioned. Also, when measuring things like weapon calibers or armor thicknesses, countries tend to take just one basic unit and express everything in multiples of that. For instance, Iowa's main guns are 16-inch guns, not 1-foot-4-inch guns, and Bayern's main guns are 38-centimeter guns, not 0.38-meter guns.

  6. I thought Hood's torpedo launch was an unintentional discharge triggered by some random failure or another as the ship broke up and sank?
