Youtube hearted comments of (@RedXlV).

The fact that Fox tries to present notorious talk radio lunatic Mark Levin as if he's their "super serious" host is yet another thing that's completely laughable about their network.

Well by Trump standards, this means Smollet was "TOTALLY EXONERATED!" That's how it works, right?

Regarding Imperator Nikolai I as an aircraft carrier conversion, there was consideration in 1924 of converting both the incomplete battlecruiser Izmail and the damaged Gangut-class Frunze (ex-Poltava). Izmail would be very obviously the most suitable of these hulls, Nikolai is roughly the same size as Frunze (though considerably heavier given the thicker armor) and thus would've been similarly workable for a conversion. Apparently, the reason she wasn't considered for the purpose is that she'd been neglected for several years and was even more dilapidated than the fire-ravaged Frunze. Though as a Gangut, Frunze would probably be a better choice on account of being a couple of knots faster even before you consider the benefits of removing the heavy armor and possibly installing newer machinery. Bottom line, Nikolai could've been used as the basis for a solid 1st-generation aircraft carrier, but the Red Navy had better prospects they could've used.

9:39 When Gregory died, the Cardinals actually did pretty easily choose a new pope, Celestine IV. The election only took a month. The problem is Celestine promptly died 17 days later. After which it took them a year and a half to elect Innocent IV.

Regarding a triple turret version of the QEs? Your notion of a rebuild that removes the aft superfiring turret so that they can end up with useful speed in their 1930s refit has another implication going forward. You now have something a lot more interesting than the Courageous-class's twin turrets to put on HMS Vanguard. If we assume that as in reality, only Warspite, Valiant, and Queen Elizabeth went through full rebuilds since the outbreak of WW2 interrupted the schedule, that leaves three triple turrets to work with. Which means that Vanguard wouldn't need nearly so much redesign work relative to the Lion-class as she went through IRL, because she doesn't need to be lengthened to make room for a 4th turret. This would likely mean she would be given the same thickness of belt armor as the KGVs rather than having it thinned to 14 inches to make up for the longer hull. The simpler process of simply redesigning the Lions to use smaller turrets rather than having to accommodate an AB-XY layout also likely would've sped up the entire process, potentially allowing Vanguard to be laid down in 1940 instead of 1941. The question then is, would that result in Vanguard being completed before the war ended? At one point her construction was prioritized out of hopes that she could be completed in 1944 by diverting resources from other ships, but labor shortages made that impossible and she dropped back down the priority list. But even given said labor shortages, if her construction had begun a year sooner that might actually have been an achievable goal. Not that it really would've mattered much, since there weren't a lot of surface ships left to fight at that point.

That answer about the Bjørgvin-class coast defense ships sounds really familiar, I'm pretty sure you answered that one in a previous Drydock.

For a small nation like Finland operating on a limited budget, the Gripen is the obvious choice. Not just in terms of purchase cost but also the lower operating cost.

11:37 Minor correction here. Saratoga was CC-3. CC-2 was USS Constellation. But since Saratoga's hull was further along in construction and thus chosen for conversion into a carrier.

Now do the XM800W. It was the loser of the competition for good reason, but that articulated chassis made it the more interesting of the two prototypes.

I'm hoping that by 2040 when the next British Army tank comes, it won't be called Challenger 4. There's no reason every British MBT from 1983 onward needs to be named "Challenger". There are other names that begin with "C", after all.
