  5. Royal Navy financing up to World war two? How did the Royal Navy pay for all of these battleships and battle cruisers up till World War II? Were they paid for with cash from the British Empire or were they paid for largely with debt that then had to be paid off later? The ships are very interesting, I think it would also be very interesting to know how Britain financed such a large Royal Navy. Obviously, after World War II and the dissolution of the British Empire, the Royal Navy could no longer afford such a large number of ships.

  6. Great video! Thanks for covering the exploits of these very brave American submariners.

  7. Common mistake!!! This is NOT a battle ship! This is actually a “super sized“ destroyer that was donated by the McDonald’s corporation during World War II. You need to read the pamphlet that they give when you visit!

  9. Q&A: Assuming neither the US nor Japan have aircraft carriers during the entire war, what would World War II been like in the Pacific? Assume all other technologies / capabilities are the same like radar, land-based planes, etc. - just no aircraft carriers. What types of ships would have been built? How would the strategies and tactics change (for example, land-based planes would have been much more important and effective, submarines out of range of enemy land-based planes and enemy surface ships could operate safely on the surface, attacking Pearl Harbor would have been impossible, the Philippines and Singapore would probably have been able to fight off the Japanese, etc.).

  10. Why isn’t “Boaty McBoatface“ on this list? Sure, the ship is not that great but you have to admit that the name “Boaty McBoatface“ is perfect.

  12. Anti-magnetic torpedo decoys? Do any modern navies use anti-magnetic torpedo decoys for their submarines or their surface ships to protect them from torpedoes that are using magnetic detection?

  13. Max rate of fire? Given the complexity of the ammunition hoist and the fire control systems and the obvious lack of training of the crew necessitating all of the instructions posted at strategic points around the ship, did any British destroyer during World War II ever achieve a rate of fire exceeding one shell from any of its guns per hour?

  14. Frank DeMaris Nice answer, thanks.

  15. Why the wimpy music??? Are you warning us between the lines that if you use square space you’re going to have to put wimpy music on your websites?

  16. Question: could you do a graph of the growth in manpower of the US Navy over this period? Perhaps you could distinguish between manpower that is in training and Manpowerr that has actually been fielded on the ships. I think that in some respects that’s more impressive than the number of hulls that were being turned out.

  17. Summary:DRACH provides more evidence that Trafalgar was the acme of the British Navy, and it has been all downhill ever since for the last 200 years.

  18. Drachinifel Thanks. I see the difference now. I guess I listen to dry dock 41 first and thought it was 40 so when I saw it again is 41 I heard the same content. By the way, great work! Question: do you think the question about the design of chips finals is it all worthy of your treatment? Keep up the good work.

  20. Two more top five list! First, the hardest ships to sing in combat using minds, shells, torpedoes, and or bombs. Second, the easiest ships to sync in combat. Third (of two), an in-depth look at why the Fletcher class destroyers were so well engineered. What was it, The design of a whole the overall layout of the ship, white?

  21. What kind of statistics did the U.S. Navy keep, or the British Navy for that matter on the combat affective Ness of different weapons such as torpedoes, Maine gun shells, and your crossfire, etc. during World War II? Based on one of the answers about the proximity seems receptive Ness, it seems like the U.S. Navy at least was keeping very detailed statistics.

  22. John Shepherd Interesting. I hope that the politics of weapons acquisition are not allowed to distort the findings of this group.

  23. Great video! Thank you. Sorry it took me so long to render my opinion which I know you have been waiting for on the edge of your seat for almost a year, but I didn’t want to rush into forming my opinion until I deeply considered your video.

  27. Do you have a data set for all of the ships that includes their date began building, date commissioned, date damaged, date put in service, date sunk, date decommissioned and put in reserve, etc.? It would not be very difficult to create a little python program that would generate a spreadsheet that would have a line for every ship and a column for every month that you can then graph to your hearts content.

  28. What about the underwater bulbous bow?
