  1. 30:58 video like that always amazes me to see how fast one of these giant battleships actually can move. The fact that the Iowa class is able to keep up with modern nuclear carriers is telling; the term "fast battleship" is well deserved.

  2. How much did Adm. Lee and the USN really know about Japanese battleships at this point? Did they know about the Yamato class and the 18.1" main guns? I thought the Americans didn't know all that much until the end of the war because the Yamato class was a well-kept IJN secret.

  3. Does this have a fancy name, like the Pythagorean Battleship Theorem or something lol?
