  1. Rather appropriately named, given how they ended up resulting in K-class scenarios for many of their crews. Sadly, they weren't divided into CK, MK, NK, SK, XK, and ZK sub-classes.

  2. Did the Allies ever consider attacking the IJN's fleet bases in the British and Dutch East Indies with long-range bombers based in Australia or Ceylon? Looking at a map, both Brunei Bay and Lingga Roads are within B-29 range of Allied bases which were in operation by summer 1944 (Darwin for Brunei, and both China Bay and Exmouth Gulf for Lingga), which opens up the theoretical possibility for airstrikes on the Japanese anchorages to try to disable or destroy the remaining Japanese combat units based there. Also: Why did the two classes of 15" German battleships (the Bayerns and Bismarcks) have chamfered edges on their main-battery-turret rooves and faces? Why didn't other battleships have this sort of chamfering on their turrets?

  3. Another one: why not put the K class's boilers right aft (feeding steam forwards to the turbine rooms) to avoid the problem of dividing the submarine when diving?
