  1. "In a way, Nelson was lucky to die at Trafalgar" Reminds me of, "You either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain."

  2. Let's face it, while Enterprise was possibly the most distinguished fighting ship of the Pacific war, the Iowa class battleships take the cake for radiating intimidating POWER to an observer. One can argue that this was their primary effect when they were returned to service in the 80s and 90s. Sailing through the Strait of Hormuz with an Iowa and attending Aegis destroyers and cruisers makes a huge impression on an Iranian sailor despite their age and obsolescence.

  3. All of the "Dark XXX" channels are crap. Except for his early "Dark 5" channel, which was kind of fun in an X-Files "don't take this serious" kind of way, but even that was low effort cheap stuff. Also, that guy's voice is hugely annoying.

  4.  @bkjeong4302  Yes, I am well aware of your hatred of battleships reading your comments on this channel, but if you read my comment, I'm not talking about actual destructive capability so much as perception. In a ceremony, looks are more important than unseen technological edge.
