00:58:49 - How long can munitions last in and around the timeframe the channel covers?
01:04:04 - If the Royal Navy had decided after the Washington Treaty that what they really needed was more battlecruisers, do you think that an effective design could have been developed at 35,000 tons?
01:09:47 - Did the Axis ever capture Allied crytopgraphic material from Allied ships?
01:12:23 - Has there ever been an equivalent to a "shell shortage/crisis" in naval history?
01:16:56 - Anglo-US War in 1876?
01:24:31 - Which is more expensive, a carrier or a battleship?
01:29:32 - Examples of new and old technology being combined in a compromise effort between efficiency and safety?
01:32:54 - Small butterflies with potentially massive naval impacts?
01:37:45 - Have there been other outlandish displays of naval peacetime power in history like the Great White Fleet?
01:41:30 - What sort of impact could the air wing of Enterprise have had on the Kido Butai if they had actually found the Japanese carriers on the evening of December 7th, 1941? Would the Japanese have had the ability to quickly counterattack Enterprise after the day's events?
01:44:35 - What were Admiral Halsey's good points?
01:47:27 - Separated by era how far back in time would you need to go from the launching of any ship to get to the point where that ship isn't just good, but essentially a Final Boss?

01:56:11 - Was USS Houston supposed to receive a radar set and if so, what type and what effect might it have had?
01:58:11 - How common were failed classes of ships and what would your definition of a failed ship class be?

02:16:26 - Naval convergent engineering?
02:21:19 - Was there ever a thought during late 18th or early 19th century to arm the marines with rifled muskets/ rifles like the Baker to improve accuracy and allow even more effective sniping from the fighting tops?
02:24:44 - Could a triple gunned turret have been developed during the pre-dreadnought era with the frying pan style turrets or was the technology of the time unable to make it work?
02:29:25 - Early 1900's hydraulic fluids?
02:33:23 - Destroyers dodging torpedoes?
02:36:54 - Why did John Philip Holland end up designing submarines for the Royal Navy given his long history with the Irish Nationalist movement and the fact he designed world’s first practical submarine "the Fenian Ram" submarine specifically for attacking the British?
