00:00:40 - What would you consider to be the best designed ships that the Germans built from the 2 World Wars?
00:07:13 - Why didn’t the Japanese remove all the casemate mounted 6” guns on the Kongo-class battlecruisers during their final rebuild and replace them with half a dozen twin 5” dual purpose gun mounts?
00:16:40 - Which was the biggest logistical bottleneck for each WWII navy?
00:25:11 - Given the outpouring of responses on your autism dry dock answer, could you do a Friday video going through some of the historical documentation that you've seen?
00:31:57 - Did aircraft carriers have dedicated logistics vessels that serviced them?
00:35:21 - Did the US Navy ever consider launching carrier strikes against Tirpitz? If not, why not?
00:38:17 - How far back in time would late WW2 cruiser guns have to go to be effective against period battleships?
00:45:17 - Are there any ship names where you would think "Why would you even name a ship this!?"
00:47:05 - What if Halsey was in command at Philippine Sea?
00:51:26 - Would the Pacific War have gone differently if Admiral Yamamoto wasn't killed?
00:53:56 - How did the Allies sustain their diplomats in Sweden?

00:59:17 - If 20th century naval designers (in the period the channel covers) had access to modern engineering tools such as FEA and CFD, where would we see the biggest improvements?

I wonder if there has been any serious research into people with autism in navies at all. That could easily be a topic that no one has thought of looking into yet.
