  1. I remember seeing in the comments about the "3 Battles of Narvik" someone complaining about Dr Clark. And while I don't necessarily find Dr Clark annoying or anything BUT idk if it's his microphone or what but it's like sometimes it like he keeps getting cut off or his sound does anyway. And I find that particularly annoying. But as far as his insights into the Royal Navy idk, seems like he knows his business.

  2. Actually those "big holes" need to be at or below the water line of the ship in order to let in the vast amounts of water to make it sink. I.E. USS South Dakota had numerous "big holes" from Kirishima but did not sink. "Big holes" in the superstructure may kill Captain & command staff as well as disable fire control systems but doesn't put ship in danger of sinking. However, "big holes" such as what USS Washington did to Kirishima does put ship in danger of sinking. So go figure.

  3. Look, I know this was done 4 years ago but Clark is talking about these under gunned cruisers as though they are a good thing. And imho they are not a good thing, yeah if they go against a commerce raider then they can "mission kill" the commerce raider. But more than likely your under gunned cruiser is going to get sunk. And that is NOT a good thing ESPECIALLY if you are part of the crew aboard that ship! And that is a lot of money being spent on something that can be easily sunk. Plus, you ALSO you have to think about range as well. An 8" gun is going to out range a 6" gun. And if your enemy has speed enough to keep you at a distance to where your 6" guns are out of range but they can hit with their 8" guns, then you have a serious problem. Granted, I get that 6" cruisers can overwhelm an 8" cruiser with a large amount of hits but that 6" gun had got to get close enough to land those hits. And so a 6" cruiser going against an 8" cruiser needs to have significant armor protection to get close enough to make that 6" gun fire start landing hits. If you understand what I mean?
