I recall reading years ago that late in WWII Japanese ships based in the East Indies were sometimes burning unrefined crude oil as bunker fuel due to lack of refinery capacity. They had a couple of cruisers suffer explosions due to the volatile components of the crude oil getting loose in the ships.

Some bunker oil could be nastier than others. "The Battle of Surigao Strait" by Tulley noted a few times that the fuel oil loaded at Borneo's wide Brunei Bay was more gross than other oil for those who had to swim in it from their stricken vessel.

Can we just have a weekly "Drach After Dark" podcast of whatever's been on his mind / in the works over the previous 7 days, including extracurricular things like the miniatures, the pets, the flags, etc...

Right? We should have a weekly storytime with Drach where he reads aloud from whatever naval history related book he is reading at the time.

Personally, I think it's awesome to have Drach as a special voice guest on my new channel. What an honor!

Regarding the passenger liner/aircraft carrier hybrid: I would pay money to see the jetsetter class subjected to the arrester wire yank from a COD flight.
