  1. Wow! Your grandfather sounds like he would use determination to overcome things that 99.99% of people could not. I've heard that such the like was theoretically possible but had not heard of it to such a degree. That is amazing.

    It does not fall under the Appeal to authority fallacy if the authority you appeal to actually is authoritative and speaks directly to the issue under discussion.

  3. About the most impactful shot in history, there is of course this particular joke that used to be told in St. Petersburg about the most dangerous shot in human history. More dangerous than the atomic bomb. They have it on the Aurora. If you fire it, you get 70 years of communism.

  4. Regarding the divine wind question that @Drach is answering at 5:55, read an official history today that talked about the hundreds of ships that had been ordered, many of which were in various states of construction, that were cancelled after Hiroshima and Nagasaki that bolster his point. The shipyards were going full steam and had to be turned off.

  5. I recently found a young British lad who had a you tube channel on ships. I have fallow him to encourage him. His channel is somme1200. He is trying really hard and is improving. I just thought that he could use some encouragement for some one who is doing what he is trying to do. If you have the time that is. Thank you.

  6. Wait a minute, wait a minute. You mean to tell me that this month's Patreon drydock is TWO three hour pre recorded segments PLUS a 3.5 hour live segment?!?

    Oh Drach, no one works harder than you, I hope this channel makes you lavishly rich beyond your wildest dreams. You are by far the most enriching YouTuber on the site. Bravo, sir.

    With the Dutch east indies oil and refineries, Japan would attack and consolidate Port Moresby and Tulagi before messing with the USNavy.
    They may even force a non-agression pact with Britain in exchange of leaving Australia alone, maybe Singapore is not attacked?
    BONUS ABDA command may never happen at all!

  8. Your Grandfather's level of both logic and stubbornness(we would say thrawn)as well as his understatement and sheer endurance indicates that he probably had some Lowland Scots or Borders ancestry
