2023-01-16 22:15:39 +0000 UTCQ&A Questions about naval illumination shells, particularly those used during WW2. Where do I begin? How do they work? How far could they reach? How are range and elevation (upon igniting) controlled? Were the ballistic aspects so different from regular shells that special considerations were required to place them where they were needed? Did the big guns (11" and larger) fire them? Tell us all that you know! Thanks!

2023-01-12 01:56:19 +0000 UTCQ&A Major Francis John William Harvey, VC, British Royal Marine light infantry was the commander of “Q” turret on HMS Lion before the turret was fatally hit by the battlecruiser SMS Lützow at Jutland in 1917. My question is this, Major Harvey's rank at the time of his death was a Major in the Royal Marines. How high up the Royal Marine rank structure could/can a Royal Marine be promoted while serving on a Royal Navy vessel while retaining command commensurate with his rank? Taking this to its logical end, hypothetically can a Royal Marine Officer command a Royal Navy capital ship? Has this ever occurred?
