DDV: mine warfare doctrines by country in ww2

Dylan Bartlett

DDV: Looking at a picture of the USS Alabama museum, from the air, and it makes it clear how the 5”/42 turrets are all clustered around the superstructure. Is the idea that the armor from those turrets provides additional protection from incoming fire for the engineering spaces below? This seems to be a related but different theory of armor than the armored belt and deck by itself.

DDV: Warship logistics: Where do you put the food, the fuel, the ammo, and how does it get there, what cranes, etc?

Reiver's Rambling Recces

DDV. Sir Edward Pellew

Jack von Kuehn

DDV: Armour layout - choosing where exactly to make it thicker or thinner, whether industrial limits forced them to keep thickness consistent in places they might have wanted to vary it, decapping/main/splinter layers, interactions with torpedo protection systems, armouring weak spots (funnel grates, doors in and out, etc.), the tradeoffs of a sloped belt and internal vs external, why they didn't move to all-or-nothing sooner, effects it had on structural integrity, etc. etc. etc.

Alsadius

DDV: Acoustic homing torpedoes and the Countermeasures from Allies and Axis powers, effectiveness, development and operational history.

TheFreaker86

DDV - Explaining the "small-timber" system for ship construction post Napoleonic wars. (I tried Googling it, but couldn't find anything except a reference under HMS Unicorn.

Camino John

DDV The organization of riviters (did they work as teams or individuals) during the heyday of rivited ship construction. Was a riviter's compensation based on a piece work rate? How was quality control maintained?

HMSVanguard46

DDV: The Anglo-Dutch Wars (more like a series, maybe)

John McCarthy

DDV: USS Copahee - first Bogue class carrier into theatre - a Jeep Carrier. Where did that name come from?

Avalon

DDV: July '45, TF 34.8 thundered around the actual Home Islands of Japan flattening whatever was interesting and within range of the big rifles. Surely the ultimate logical endpoint of naval bombardment, but one that is not discussed very often. Supposedly one of the goals was to kick the hornet's nest and evaluate kamikaze response ahead of Olympic-- by putting BBs in harm's way! I'd be very interested in understanding the strategic thinking, the logistics (transporting shells to within sight of the Home Islands!, why (or why-not) the Japanese did not respond more strongly, what impact it had, and hopefully see some pictures of what a 16" shell does to an industrial target because deep down inside you know we all want to see that :-D

Avalon

DDV: How periscopes work, and their evolution within the time the channel covers.

How many Blackburn Blackburns could a Blackburn Blackburn burn if a Blackburn Blackburn could burn Blackburn Blackburns

DDV. Sir Drachs building of his channel, and the establishment of relationships with museum ship curators and navel museum curators.

John K Baker

DDV : The Allied Naval Evacuation from Singapore in 1942.

Andrew Waite

DDV: i've been reading Admiral Sims' account of the First World War, and one of the more colorful figures to be mentioned was Hans Rose, commander of the U-53, perhaps most famous for visiting Newport, RI in 1916 during the period of American Neutrality, and then setting up a kill zone for belligerent shipping just outside of territorial waters. I'd like to nominate his career as a subject for a special video.

SendPenguins

DDV: Gunboat Diplomacy, its origins, major events, and fall.

Fechteler's fickle fictile fettler, fourth finest fettler Fechteler forged for foriegn fictile fettling forays..

DDV: USS Independence Light Carrier (CVL-22) - I see Drach already did this. I recommend watching, in case you missed it when it first came out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoaISjq_kzc

Avalon

DDV: How do minelaying and minesweeping operations work

Gordon Butler

DDV: The Rise and Fall of the AFD

Ulf Axelsson

This might be more of a subject for it's own video, but could you discuss the 1843 Battle of Campeche between Mexico and the Republics of Texas and the Yucatan?

Marlin Stout

DDV: Shenanigans, Paybacks and Dastardly Deeds of the various naval commands directed at politicians and vice versa. Somehow I see Drach using his wit and comic relief and teeing off on both sides as needed. Nobody is safe here.

Squeued

Hans Peter Bak

DDV: capital ship main battery layouts: conventional vs all-forward I know this has been disgussed in multiple drydocks, but concidering how many people ask about it again and again I think a deep dive would be interesting.

HMS Implosive

DDV: 14 May 1945. USS Enterprise (CV-6)’s forward elevator joins the Combat Air Patrol.
