00:00:00 - Intro

00:00:35 - Did any other ship have a name as pretentious or more pretentious than "Sovereign of the Seas" ?

00:01:48 - What are the advantages and disadvantages of having a ship placed in cement like the Mikasa? And if there was a ship that could have the same treatment, which one would you like it to be?

00:07:33 - Pivot mounted carronades?

00:12:47 - AA Machine guns in both world wars?

00:18:52 - If the Dutch viewed Sovereign as such a menace and failed so many times to sink her at a great loss to their own navy, why not just try to ram her? Surely the loss of one additional vessel would have justified the loss of such a valuable British asset?

00:22:29 - RN budget comparisons

00:27:02 - Ship testing ranges?

00:29:25 - What was more impactful for the USN: the loss of Lexington, the loss of Yorktown, the loss of Wasp or the loss of Hornet?

00:33:32 - Hull projections on superfiring destroyer mounts?

00:36:44 - In the age of sail did larger guns cease to use solid shot at close range to increase damage? It seems like a solid shot from a dalgren would waste most of its energy exiting the opposite side of a ship at close range.

00:38:53 - Danube frigates of Prince Eugene?

00:43:35 - Essex class flexing and expansion joints?

00:48:35 - How good were early 20th century naval designers at estimating the speed of a design from the blueprints and models? Was there ever a big difference in expected and actual speed in the dreadnought to WW2 era?

00:52:58 - Italian style refit for the Fuso's?

00:58:24 - Japanese APD equivilants?

01:01:29 - What do you consider Admiral George Anson's most important accomplishment to be?
