00:00:47 - Any way for the ironclad era to have avoided so many missteps?
00:06:39 - Did anyone of the period when sails were still used try to get around the spark problem by placing the funnel in an unconventional spot?
00:10:39 - Did any navy of the era the channel covers keep records of deaths related directly to accidents in the rigging?
00:14:27 - For a battleship, is having a citadel too small to keep the ship afloat on its own really a disadvantage?
00:22:12 - Which 1800's German ship do you find the most elegant?
00:24:50 - Would the British have been better off at Jutland with smaller guns but working shells?
00:28:42 - Carrier triple flight decks in use and potential improvements?
00:39:39 - Compared to U-505, what are the main differences on USS Silversides?
00:43:55 - What are some of the dumbest decisions made by smart captains or admirals who should have known better?
00:48:57 - How were sailors fed when the weather was rough?
00:52:36 - Could you make the Nelson class faster with an 8-gun ship?
00:57:03 - Magnetic torpedo calibration?
01:00:47 - How much more armour would the German battlecruisers at Jutland have needed to be protected on the Run to the South?
01:03:14 - In Master and Commander the crew most often salutes officers by kind of curling the index finger and vaguely gesturing towards their forheads. Was that the standard or did the officers simply accept anything that showed some effort towards saluting and acknowledging the rank?

8 gun Nelson class: Why not have A turret be the 2 gun turret, B turret at the same level as A, and C turret be the super-firing one?

In "The Captain From Connecticut" - set in 1814-1815 - CS Forester has the US captain feel disapproval when a RN lieutenant salutes him in the "newfangled" way by touching the brim of his hat rather than by doffing it.
