02:19:57 - Regarding the sinking of the battleship Mutsu: Would you say the loss of the trainee airmen and flight instructors (who had picked entirely the wrong time to pay the ship a visit) did more damage to the Imperial Japanese navy then the loss of a Nagato-class battleship?

02:22:18 - Russian WW1 combined pre-dreadnought firing practice
