DDV: mine warfare doctrines by country in ww2

Brad in SoCal

DDV: Looking at a picture of the USS Alabama museum, from the air, and it makes it clear how the 5”/42 turrets are all clustered around the superstructure. Is the idea that the armor from those turrets provides additional protection from incoming fire for the engineering spaces below? This seems to be a related but different theory of armor than the armored belt and deck by itself.

Alsadius

DDV: Armour layout - choosing where exactly to make it thicker or thinner, whether industrial limits forced them to keep thickness consistent in places they might have wanted to vary it, decapping/main/splinter layers, interactions with torpedo protection systems, armouring weak spots (funnel grates, doors in and out, etc.), the tradeoffs of a sloped belt and internal vs external, why they didn't move to all-or-nothing sooner, effects it had on structural integrity, etc. etc. etc.

DDV The organization of riviters (did they work as teams or individuals) during the heyday of rivited ship construction. Was a riviter's compensation based on a piece work rate? How was quality control maintained?

Dubsington

DDV: July '45, TF 34.8 thundered around the actual Home Islands of Japan flattening whatever was interesting and within range of the big rifles. Surely the ultimate logical endpoint of naval bombardment, but one that is not discussed very often. Supposedly one of the goals was to kick the hornet's nest and evaluate kamikaze response ahead of Olympic-- by putting BBs in harm's way! I'd be very interested in understanding the strategic thinking, the logistics (transporting shells to within sight of the Home Islands!, why (or why-not) the Japanese did not respond more strongly, what impact it had, and hopefully see some pictures of what a 16" shell does to an industrial target because deep down inside you know we all want to see that :-D

SendPenguins

DDV: i've been reading Admiral Sims' account of the First World War, and one of the more colorful figures to be mentioned was Hans Rose, commander of the U-53, perhaps most famous for visiting Newport, RI in 1916 during the period of American Neutrality, and then setting up a kill zone for belligerent shipping just outside of territorial waters. I'd like to nominate his career as a subject for a special video.

Squeued

DDV: Shenanigans, Paybacks and Dastardly Deeds of the various naval commands directed at politicians and vice versa. Somehow I see Drach using his wit and comic relief and teeing off on both sides as needed. Nobody is safe here.
