  1. The story of how survivors of the Emden travel home? Yep, great sub story.

  3.  @ChaplainDMK  Short answer to all? Those were the Naval design arrangements popular In that era. Your thinking outside the box. And ahead of technology. These are hand loaded guns. Adding more people and ammo in a small space may not improve results.

  4.  @OLzSStolz  So far, I have have found a trailer that is sub titled. https://youtu.be/z6glP_gcqvg According to IMDB the production was in German. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1808067/ Amazon and Ebay have it under the title, "13,000 kilometers." https://www.ebay.ie/itm/13-000-Kilometer-Die-Manner-der-Emden-DVD/173991361282?hash=item2882b17b02:g:eBoAAOSw3YBdTUH9

  6.  @andreaspersson5639  Missions are generally the same. The light cruiser is to scout ahead of the main fleet. Heavy Cruiser has guns 8 Inch plus. Light Cruiser has guns under 8 Inch.

  8.  @dejangabrovsek6534  The Royal Navy does not name ships for past heroes like the USN.

  9.  @Alex-cw3rz  The UK can not aggree on anything. From Brexit, to a PM, to what Royal they hate this week..... Yet you want a dream Navy?🙄

  10.  @dejangabrovsek6534  The Admiral's are a exception.

  11.  @b.griffin317  These were coal fired ships. The rigging is for emergency use of sails

  12.  @Alex-cw3rz  A whole £15 billion? How much did they spend on the Olympics?

  13.  @michaelsullivan6127  I see no plus side. The main guns are overkill already. Why add a bigger non dual purpose secondary? 🤔 Ditto on your thoughts.

  14.  @michelangelobuonarroti4958  Influential implies a standard to follow? For that, Yorktown is a bad choice. The Type XXI U Boat however does. It set the stage for sub development since 1945 worldwide.

  15.  @Volunteer-per-order_OSullivan  The same for all Navies. Artillery spoting, search and rescue, reconnaissance.

  16.  @solarisengineering15  Live fire tests are done practically yearly. They are called, Sinkex. Every Summer off Hawaii, the USN holds the annual Rimpac exercise. And target ships are hit with everything up to torpedoes. A ship is not a tank. The compartments contain damage and flooding. See for yourself here. https://youtu.be/VVsnUsbJ-Xk

  17.  @CharlesStearman  The added spars and rigging are not needed for signals flags.

  18.  @sirboomsalot4902  USNS Comfort.

  19.  @No1Chrispycat  for rigging sails.

  20.  @michelangelobuonarroti4958  There are many ships with far more battle star honors than Yorktown. And to claim a single ship influenced the outcome of the War alone is a bit of a stretch.
