  1. The parallels between the french response in 1940, the Dowding system and the development of CIC in ships is notable Technology only captures the data (radar). Or makes transmission easier or faster (courier, telephones, radios) Having radar capturing the data, having phone lines/radios to talk long distances are not game changers by themselves It is the development of the value chain from data to information to knowledge what was a crucial advantage.

  2. IJN: write that down, write that down.

  3. Yes, but is it pointy? Pointy is scary.😊

  4. min 31:55 "whipsaw"... Keeping two fronts plays into the oil supply strength of the USNavy, while forcing the IJN to spend their limited fuel in steaming between fronts. ALSO, two fronts make impossible to know which one is the true "kantai kessen" one....so the IJN never commits to either one.

  5. Consider these soldiers saw all these assets as expendable. That combat life of an asset was expected to be short. They were disposable tools to an end. The minute the war ended they had no more value than a candy wrapper. That line of thinking would change, and now we weep. 😢 Respectfully

  7. About Comm-Ships. The value of signal inteligence should also be included. Multiple commships can triangulate enemy's positions better than one large (powerful) land station. Also, the detection range is much greater than the effective communication range Add interference and jamming of flight direction beams and radars from multiple ships. Also comm ships could act as ad -hoc navigation beacons during raids

  8. Rapid fire 5in barrel life. Do smaller guns have better life than battleship size rifles? Much better life? Are these smaller barrels easier/cheaper/faster to change liners?

  10. 23:15... Mae West had and still has no equal, and the "look alikes" can be spotted a mile away. Fun fact, the life vests were named after her. 🦺 . ( No points for guessing why)

  14. The carrier numbers are impressive in hulls alone.... But to then I think that empty carriers are pretty but not much use. The planes, the pilots, mechanics and enough slack to rotate both ships and airwings? THAT just blows past my imagination. (swooshing sound) And it still wasn't enough!!!... where do you get over a hundred experienced and capable skippers to run the carriers? Where did these guys that knew seamanship, air wing operations, and management of large complex systems come from? Respectfully.

  15. ww2 landing craft are still running around in Indonesia. If it could carry a tank, it can carry a oilfield truck. The oil industry in Venezuela took up a LOT of surplus auxiliaries, tugboats and barges. Regards

  16. Yeah... everybody knows who Rommel or Patton is... but nobody remembers the name of the quartermaster that kept their men fueled and fed. "hundred of tanks destroyed" is a better headline than "seven thousand pounds of butter arrived fresh today" I got my priorities straight... I want butter on my toast , I can't eat a toasted tank.😁

  21. Video suggestion: fast fleet oilers. how the shift from coal to oil and the fast carrier forces caught most navies planners by surprise

  22. It's like the spiderman meme... the IJN, the royal navy and the USNavy all pointing at each other "YOU won the washington treaty"

  23. "Tiptoe" is a clever name for a submarine.

  24.  @Conn30Mtenor  👍 a "strategy" that does not take logistics into account is just wishful thinking. But some people believe that some sort of "strategic" genius exists.. with "enough" of this genius few, naked, hungry, sick, tired, unarmed soldiers will ALWAYS win . If someone believes that Nelson could have won Trafalgar swimming naked.. we should just let them believe that.😁 Cheers.

  28. (Insert Gru's meme) USN: Send the PT boats, destroyers and cruisers! ALSO USN: In terms of PT boats, destroyers and cruisers... we have no PT boats, destroyers or cruisers

  29. 4:55 "oil fired boilers". What happened to the coal bunkers? Did they remain empty?

  30. Consider. With no radar fire director, a single AA gun manned by an injured sailor downs one airplane and damages several others. This was "point blank range".

  33. In regards to the wealth of the looting. What we should understand is how poor mankind was prior to industrialization. The common peasant today has access and can pay for things not even an emperor could have then. At any cost.

  36. The Geo-political aspect of the Pacific is relevant Since it was "Europe first", then the US could run the Pacific war single handed, without having to make many concessions to the british, french or even the dutch. Also, the US had clear that the objective was to beat Japan, not recover Singapore, Malaysia or Java. Even retaking the Phillipines was weighed against reaching Japan.

  37. Train already got stuffed by a submarine once, so angry battleship is showing restraint😊

  38. How come King got a destroyer named after him, while Forrestal and Nimitz got carrier classes to their name?
