Off the top of my head one knot is about 1.1mph

I'm concerned that day is swiftly approaching.

I would assume that you intend to do a 5 min guide on floating drydocks.

Thanks for the video! Quick question, how fast is a knot? and how does it compare to miles per hour / kilometers per hour? I’m in the US so we use MPH, but others may like it expressed as KPH. Sorry, if this has already been covered.

You've got your work cut out for you. 4+ hours of collecting Drachisms...

Christopher R.

4 hours plus I am envisioning a day when Mrs Drach is going to hunt us all down

"Sudden existence failure" Drachism of the day

Bless my barnacles...4 hrs and 18 mins of Drach...fabulous!

I'm barely halfway through Episode 79 and am, as always , totally impressed with the range and depth of your knowledge. While you downplay your knowledge of modern weapons, the segment on hypersonic weapons was the best I've read anywhere. Today only Russia and China possess them and presumably their leadership understands that attacking a U.S. carrier would plunge us into war. Pressures to massively retaliate would be high. Fast forward X years when this technology has proliferate to less stable nations ....scary.d

So, that training manual I used to have published in 1903? It was used by a midshipman in the US Naval Academy from 1905-1909. The midshipman who had the book was Franklin Van Valkenburgh. I donated the book to the Arizona memorial in 1992. It is still on display at the museum.
