  1. Sailing within range of any gun is a bad idea when your deck launcher is loaded with a Type 93 torpedo. Using compressed oxygen as an oxidizer wasn't the most brilliant idea when in battle. When the IJN first started to equip ships with this device, the oxygen tank was labeled as 'Auxiliary Fuel'. They knew. They tried to hide it from the sailors. Perhaps a question for Drach would be "How many IJN ships were victims of their own Type 93s?"

  2.  @alganhar1  Many materials, when ground to a powder, are prone to explosion. The material has been ground up to such a small size that, overall, there is MUCH more surface area exposed to the atmosphere (oxidizer). Light a log on fire and it burns. Turn that log into sawdust and light it. It explodes.

  3. Could you apply "cost savings due to mass production" to the Essex-class?

  4. My only question. One eyebrow, or two?
