00:00:00 Intro

00:00:52 Between the Matsushimas, Kitakami, Shimakaze, the Tones, the refit Fusos and the refit Ises, which was the worst of the IJN’s “what the hell” designs?

00:05:53 Why didn't the Germans press any Soviet ships into service with the Kriegsmarine?

00:09:52 Would 2 Shokaku's instead of the Yamato's extend the Pacific War and if so by how much?

00:19:57 When HMS Dreadnought was launched, she famously made the preDreadnoughts of the time obsolete basically overnight. But seeing as there was only one of her and it would take a while to to replace a whole fleet, were there any plans to modernise some of the preDreadnoughts? And if yes, what did this preDreadnought modernisation look like and how much could you squeeze out of one to make it as useful as possible in a dreadnought world?

00:25:24 Pronunciation of names?

00:36:09 Submarine in ANZAC convoy?

00:36:49 Hypothetically, regardless of any casualties to the Eastern Fleet. How does the IJN go forward with the Battles of Coral Sea and Midway having only CarDivs 1 and 5 making up the Kido Butai?

00:41:35 How deep into each of the major types of aircraft carrier would an inert 16" shell penetrate (assuming it doesn't hit anything too solid on the way down)?

00:46:28 Do you think there are any riverine warships from which could be found away from the current path of the river they sank in?

00:49:35 Was there any way to prevent the reset of gun size from the 413mm main battery of the Victoria class to the common predreadnought and early dreadnought 305mm main batteries?

00:53:54 An American officer wanted to be Beatty?

00:57:38 Were any torpedoes in the interwar period designed or modified to specifically defeat any of the torpedo protection schemes being developed?

01:02:41 Which ship or naval operation in the period covered by the channel. Looks like it was thought up, designed and built/implemented by Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond?
