01:44:58 - You mention main gun elevation issues frequently, what were the technical problems that WWI/WWII warships had with main gun elevation, and why were they difficult for some navies to solve?
01:52:14 - During postwar demobilizations, especially after the World Wars, was there any kind of special committee set up in the Royal Navy that determined what ships, or even classes of ships, would be retained for future use vs. put into ordinary (reserve) vs. being scrapped?
01:57:25 - Were the mass of "90 day gunboats" produced for the Union Blockade a production first (industrial "cheap and nasty" ships), or were they a case of what would have been privateers in previous wars?
