  1. The US army and navy have a rivalry like sports teams have a rivalry. The IJA and IJN had a rivalry like drug cartels

  3. I can’t help hearing how the Dutch apparently uses oboes as warships

  4.  @javiermedina9080  assuming the rule of thumb that a three knot increase in speed requires a doubling of horsepower, if you took the reactors from the Ford class, used all their output for propulsion, they could push Hood to over 40 knots

  5. Kwolfx “oh I didn’t think it was a good idea, it was this other guy” they’re hardly going to own up to such a stupid and unsuccessful plan are they?

  10.  @steriskyline4470  who is “we”? What did you do exactly? And indeed, the British may very well have killed me for being the wrong color. Those of us who don’t think it’s the 18th century realize that’s a bad thing

  12. What kind of small arms did capital ships keep on board? Was it enough to arm the crew in case the got pressed into service on land? How effective were fixed torpedo tubes on capital ships? Surely maneuvering an entire battleship is impractical

  17. As terrifying as a battleship like Washington sneaking out of the mist at point blank range is on its own, the fact that Admiral Lee is on it makes it so much worse Also we need one on Spruance, literal weaponized autism

  25. Sounds like a massive failure to do research before hand on your part as well as arrogance that everything must be the same as what you’re familiar with

  27. TIL submarines only exist on lakes

  28. What sort of small arms were stored on ships in WW1? Was there any concern about defending against boarding action? Also, you’ve made your feelings about Admiral Halsey well known in the past but what about the other big American admiral in the pacific, Admiral Spruance?

  31. Admiral Spruance aka Literal Weaponized Autism

  32. You haven occasionally referred to a ships guns being good or bad; what makes them this way? Is it the construction materials? Techniques? Linings? Twist rate? Maintenance schedules? What separates a good main gun from a bad on? Also, how were fixed torpedo tubes on capital ships employed? It seems somewhat inconvenient to move a whole battleship just to aim torpedoes

  33. Be sure to ask the first nations just how polite Canadians can be

  34. If you gave the free polish navy a Dunkerque, nothing under heaven could stop them from ramming it into bismark

  35. How was the ammunition for AA guns safely stored/distributed on ships? Particularly for the guns that were tacked on after the fact and not part of the original design
