00:00:30 - Did China ever have armoured cruisers?
00:04:22 - How did the of the British Navy's thinking about what makes a "good" Admiral change between the Napoleonic wars and the start of WW1?
00:11:58 - How did WW1/WW2 ships deal with ice buildup when sailing in cold climates?
00:15:58 - What, if anything, would Nimitz have done differently than Kimmel on Dec 7th 1941 if he had accepted the command, and would it have been enough to keep his career from ending?
00:21:27 - If the Wasp had survived her submarine attack how would she have compared to forthcoming U.S. light carriers?
00:25:52 - How common was it for navies to reuse class names like the RN did during WWI and WWII with KGV and Town and County class?
00:34:19 - Are there any battles that you find especially sad or emotionally moving?
00:38:29 - Can you comment on WW2 senior officers serving at sea? Some like Vian and Somerville seem to spend most of the war at sea, while others such as Harwood, Lyster, Whitworth, who despite early success are removed to other than obvious front line roles and desk jobs for extended periods.
00:42:43 - Are there enough differences between the Fargo-class light cruiser and the preceding Cleveland-class to consider them separate classes or is the Fargo-class more akin to a subclass of the Cleveland-class?
00:45:20 - On US Destroyers, could the Mk 15 have gyro angles and depths set in the tube like the Mk 14s in submarines? If so, was this updated automatically by a TDC?
00:48:43 - How did USN's APA/AKA compare with the RN's Landing Ships Infantry's and related vessels?
00:54:01 - 'Safe' areas for training in WW2?
01:00:09 - Why no second South American Dreadnought Race?
01:04:48 - Just how did the US build Liberty ships so fast?

01:09:26 - The history of “Torpedo juice”?
01:13:56 - What was the composition of the air wing for “Escort Carriers” that worked best for escorting a convoy in transit?
01:17:32 - How do you think Norge and Eisvold, or any of the other 'capital' units of the minor European Navies would have been used had they managed to escape into 'free navy' service?
01:20:03 - How does the experience of the Japanese admirals compare to the American admirals at the beginning of WWII. Which had more or better combat experience?
01:24:06 - Just how long would the very earliest ironclads like HMS Warrior, Monitor, and Glorie actually remain militarily useful?
01:29:56 - Why was Lord Cochrane chosen over Captain Harvey (Temeraire) for the command of the fleet at Basque Roads?
01:36:02 - Both King and Yamamoto at one point commanded aircraft carriers. Is this purely a coincidence or was experience with naval aviation a prerequisite to the highest commands right before ww2?
01:38:24 - What would you say were the best "budget" warships of each naval era?
01:47:10 - Was the effeciacy of "Dazzle" camouflage patterns based more on the view of the ship through range finders rather than just naked eye?
01:51:47 - Is it always preferable to designate the largest, most powerfully armed vessel in one's fleet as flagship?
01:59:12 - If the USN crews had training and practice for shallow water sinking/capsizing rescue scenarios beforehand, would it make a big difference for the rescue efforts at Pearl Harbor using the available equipment and manpower?
02:01:03 - The Diel Vertical Migration?
02:04:21 - Did any naval power consider using stern wheelers?
02:08:19 - Modular build capital ships?
02:12:34 - After watching the Grim Reapers battle between the USS Des Moines and the HMS Vanguard, would a battlecruiser be better suited with the automatic 8” guns which could mission kill a ship over heavier, but much slower firing, weapons?
02:16:25 - Making inefficient designs work?
02:20:22 - The naval career of one Captain Georg von Trapp?
02:24:11 - Why exactly were cruisers so important to the European colonial powers from the turn of the century to the interwar period?
02:29:20 - If you could pick say, 5, moments in naval history where you could be a 'fly on the wall' what would you pick?
02:37:18 - Turret maintenance for Revenge class battleships?
02:46:05 - Cruiser gun 'caps' without a naval treaty system?
02:53:10 - Anglo-German optical trade in WW1?
02:56:26 - 13 Colonies RN officers?
