🕑 Added 2024-12-21 10:13:33 +0000 UTC00:00:00 - Intro
00:00:47 - Why do some perceive the Shokaku's as useless?
00:05:29 - How did the IJN get its pilot levels back up again before Leyte?
00:13:16 - Re-enactment of Turtle's mission?
00:15:57 - Could you build a Hunley analouge in 1775?
00:18:35 - What is Tirpitz really did go after PQ-17 and it didn't scatter?
00:24:37 - It doesn't seem as though casemate guns couldn't be elevated very far, thus reducing their range. Was this a reflection of the expected battle ranges of the time?
00:28:46 - Type XI-B U-Boats?
00:34:13 - If Johhnie Walker had survivved the war, what do you think would have happened to him, would he have advanced in the RN leadership,moved into ASW R&D or just retired?
00:36:52 - Would the subsequent RN capital ship hull form designs have been evolutions of the Nelsons' or was the technology moving at a speed where the hull forms would have beeen started again, from first principles?
00:39:24 - Would Rodney's more speed orinantated hull form have made increasing the ship's rated top speed easier in any hypothetical modernisation they might have received?
00:42:22 - How influential (or otherwise) was HMS Hood on later designs (not limited to RN designs).
00:46:22 - Effects of Cuniberti's 1899 armoured cruiser being built?
00:52:45 - How would minor navies dreadnoughts fair with 'Italian rebuilds' in the interwar period?
00:57:44 - If USS Portland hadn't scuttled the Yuudachi after the 1st Battle of Guadalcanal, could the US Navy have captured it?
00:59:32 - We know the Standards were built to all move at the same speed. Did the USN do this for any other type of ship or did any other country do a similar the things with their warships?
