Could you talk about the damage control procedures of various navies from say about the dreadnaught era through WWII? I often hear about the exceptional damage control of the USN, examples like the enterprise, bunker hill, etc. What made the american damage control so exceptional, why did the IJN not preform as well? I'm also curious as to how the royal navy and german navy (WWI and WWII) handled their damage control. I am most interested in WWII procedures, but it would be very interesting to hear about the evolution of both crew training and ship design regarding damage control, and ship design regarding mitigating damage. I'm also curious about non capitol ship damage control like on cruisers or destroyers and the challenges that present themselves on smaller ships. Just to be clear it's not just crew training I'm asking about, but ship design. It would be very interesting to hear about the evolution of ship design and crew training in regards to damage control and damage mitigation over the period mentioned above along with some real world examples along with some hypotheticals. Although I leave you up to picking out the real world examples of damage control done right, wrong or what have you except for one, could you explain how the crews kept a ship such as yorktown, bunker hill or enterprise afloat as long as they did. I'm not asking you to cover all of those, but maybe pick the one that best suits your answer to the question. To end this, I think most people understand things like counterflooding, water tight compartments on a basic level, but what I'm most interested in is a more detailed look at the training and designs behind all of these concepts like when you made your guide to the Taiho "always train your crews". Thanks again, I very much look forward to learning about this subject.

I didn't see a special request thread for january, so I'm just going to paste my request for a special here. Looking forward to this one.

It's called 'The Last Warrior', link to the channel in the description of each guide :)

Not overly naval-related, but what is the song you use for the intro to the 5 Minute Guides?

Why didn't the British Empire or any other of the signatories of the Washington naval treaty, sell their older Battleships/Battlecruisers to other nations or their Dominions in the case of the British. I can only assume this wouldn't be a problem due to the fact that Australia and the Federated Malay States previously purchased these kinds of ships from the British. (HMS Malaya & HMAS Australia) Was this practice not allowed under the limits of the treaty or were there other reasons this wasn't done.
