The Drydock - Episode 139

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question. But i must confess that i worry about the time it must take you to answer all of your questions.

USN saved the Omaha beach effort. https://www.history.navy.mil/research/library/online-reading-room/title-list-alphabetically/d/destroyers-at-normandy.html

Billy Shakespeare

Why was nothing mentioned about his borrowing the USS Robin from the RN? Overall he was one of our greatest Naval Leaders, his Anglophobia cost a good deal of lives in the Atlantic. As a former USN submarine officer I understand his desire to fight in the Pacific.

Patreon Question: Ive just watched The Greyhound on Netflix, enjoyable dramatisation of Fletcher class convoy duty in WW2. A must watch for naval warfare devotees. What would you say are the movie’s most realistic and least realistic depictions of this form of warfare?

You said something about a link to the posters.... mind re-posting it for those of us too dumb/lazy to find it?

Im taking a roadtrip later this week. Its a decent length trip even by MidWest standards. This Drydock is longer than it is going to take me to reach my destination, pit stops included. You're a machine Drach. Honestly thank you for your work. I went from not being interested in naval warfare at all to being unable to get enough information on every aspect of it. Just.... bravo.

I think sticking with the better paper is a good way to go for the posters and I will gladly pay the extra cost for them

Th museum at Barrow-in-Furness has a fair few builders models particularly the Mikasa and is small and could be relatively cooperative.

John Hargreaves

YES!!! A Destroyer gun-comparison would be awesome!

This'll go great as background to model building over the weekend.

Patreon Drydock is all very well and good, but what do you expect me to do in the remaining 18 hours of a Sunday?

I need a new computer. Mine is clearly glitching because it says this video is over six and half hours long.
