Freedomboos are the American version of what the Wehraboos are Doc
4.00 Coal as protection – agree that coal as protection relies on coal being there. In fact the Admiralty recognised this and actually issued instructions to captains on the order in which they should empty their bunkers to mitigate this issue.
Thereby implying that you are uninteresting to watch while pontificating 😂😂😂
On the subscribers part , history channels seem to have a slow and steady increase , there is one history channel i follow almost since the beginning and it suddenly took of fast after a few years. Also an history teacher . and he records as many videos he can on location . Perhaps you have seen or heard of his channel History hustle . hes now on 100+ k the same with the great war channel . it was slow and steady but in the end you get the numbers .
Germany – Wehraboos
British – Tea-a-boos
American – Free-a-boos
I have to admit when you mentioned some weapons don't work, the first thing that sprang to mind was the UP 😅
Wobble, wibble, wabble – sorry but the tones of Blackadder and Elmer Fudd had me in stitches at that point 🤣🤣🤣🤣
……and I still do like a Protective Cruiser ….. the concept of an Unproductive Cruiser now has a place in my heart….. thanks for that.
I have to admit my interest in naval history pre-1900 has been limited to the development of the battleship from the ship of the line so this series has been a massive eye opener for me. Hence I can't suggest any other classes but I would be only too happy if you covered other ones.
38:35 Is the term "Murican" too derogatory?
40:20 It just dawned on me, could this failure of AP-ish shells sparked the Japanese to use their almost ridiculously overpowered HE-ish shell of Tsushima-fame?
Maybe a few words about the Austro-Hungarian torpedo-cruisers, starting from SMS Zara to SMS Tiger?
I cannot remember, have you covered the Apollo-class and Diadem-class cruisers? (HMC Ships Rainbow and Niobe respectively)
The people that are too much into america are called freedomboos. Also thank you for this series, it gives me some insigt into thi era that is hard to understand for me, because I can't think of it in terms of age of sail or post treaty terminilogy/view.
I still would like to discussion of the USS Wampanoag, a remarkable ship that helped stir the creation of the HMS Inconstant. Its existence in 1868 made the claim that the HMS Inconstant was then the fastest warship afloat a seriously rebuttable presumption.
Interesting discussion – thank you
A possible video (or multiple) not on a single class but as a whole would be the experience(s) of these 19th century ships in 20th century wars
– Russo-Japanese and WW1 in particular
Could you do a video on the Monmouth/county class Armoured Cruiser please – HMS Monmouth was laid down 1899 so they just squeeze in to the 19th century (although only by the skin of their teeth)
I've long fely that they were much maligned/misunderstood, so I'd like to see them assessed in context (what they were supposed to be fore, their strategic role), and assessed against that
Another possible topic, pick a cruiser from one of the minor powers/nations – a nation we don't normally think about, then discuss WHY they bought it – what was the reason behind the choice of Armoured v Protected v Unprotected, what was its role (Presence ship? "keeping up with the Jones'" v their neibours? another reason?). Interesting to hear about how the minor nations did things.
