Thanks for another great video Regarding the Japanese lack of anti submarine, ability I have to say they weren't the only one's who failed to learn the lessons of WW1. With the U.S. entry into WW2 Germany deployed a small number of U-boats to the US East coast where they wrecked absolute havoc. The American's totally rejected all plea's from the British to institute a convoy system as they declared "That wasn't the proper role for a fighting navy" and instead relied on regular patrols of DD's moving at high speed to deter attacks. We all know how that worked out. Q&A: I do have a question about the Anglo-German Naval Treaty of 1935. My research shows that Treaty allowed Germany to build up to 35% of the RN and the Germans insisted that meant total tonnage. I'm sure I have read the British insisted the Germans had to comply with the same limits pf individual tonnage the British were by the Washington and London Treaty's. Can you provide anything on this. I feel the British would not have been so stupid as to allow themselves to be so limited but allow Germany to build any size ships they felt like and feel that the extreme's Germany went to to hide the true displacement of their ships supports the fact they were supposed to obey the limits of the Washington and London Treaty's. Regarding the Tennessee Vs QE battle mid 1920s, a further factor to didn't mention is the cage masts of the US ships. These suffered badly from vibration, especially at high speed and would have effected the Tennessee's gunnery.
