  1. the one thing I think you ommitted was the advent of torpedoes and their accompanying ships in ww2 (and to a lesser extent ww1) which made lines incredibly dangerous since if the enemy ships shot out a fusillade of torpedoes and missed their target, there was probably another ship right behind it, which seemed to happen with frightening regularity in the early half of the war. if nothing else, they served to break up formations and cause chaos since nobody wants to get poked by the 20 foot long doom fish

  2. In your videos especially on the soloman isles, it seemed as though ships had a very difficult time communicating information about incoming torpedoes to other ships in their formations. How exactly did they spot torpedoes in ww2 and communicate that information quickly? I assume the process evolved greatly throughout the war and varied by country to country
