The Drydock - Episode 264
🕑 Added 2023-09-16 07:00:02 +0000 UTC00:00:00 - Intro
00:01:13 - Why did early steam-only warships (such as the Blake class in this video) have so many yardarms (that no longer support sails) on their masts? Were all of these yards for signal hoists, or did they serve other non-sail purposes?
00:04:52 - Did the Royal Navy move quickly to Harveyized armour, or continue using the much inferior compound armour?
00:08:09 - If submarine clauses had not been added to the London naval treaty, would artillery submarines akin to Surcouf would have been far more common?
00:14:10 - Would the kii class battleships have made a better carrier conversion than the kaga?
00:16:28 - 5"/38 mounts with doors?

00:36:36 - Ships rolling over in Drydock?
00:39:08 - Did the RN ever consider naming something after Just Nuisance?

00:45:52 - Were there any instances of a warship towing another warship in combat?
00:49:10 - We know Yamamoto used the threat of resigning to get his way. What if the IJN called his bluff and accepted his resignation? How would that have changed the early part of the war?

Hi, Drach How were new gun barrels of the dreadnought-era proof tested? Was there some test rig simulating the pressure curve or was each barrel transported to some remote place and fired for real? We can suppose that the charge was more than the normal one but how much more? Will you make a full special on fuses like you did for amour and shells?, Pleaaaase :-) Thanks for the work.
