  2. I'll just have to agree to disagree. I couldn't care less what Drach' chooses to call them, it's his video

  3. 1) not sure that's wrong. After all, not all cultures call a ship "she". Given YouTube is a multi-national platform. Perhaps calling an inanimate object "it", is actually correct. ;)

  4.  @mpetersen6  I've never met a single fellow Englishman who takes this view of history. Any "fan" of the royal navy would have no quarrel with a video about an American man of war. They'd appreciate the history in general and remember it in the context of the era: An era where Brittania ruled the waves (literally). There is no reason for anyone from Great Britain to down vote this video, based on its content or title. Quite the opposite, it elicits nothing but a feeling of pride. I'm not sure what has coloured your view point. But I can promise you, that's just not how we* think. * People who live here and are into history. As a final note. Please understand that I know there are many times that the British empire was involved in events that are anything but something to be proud of. Though I'm sure that can be said of every state in history at one time or another.
