00:02:27 - How buildable and how practical to operate would a angled deck Midway be in 1942/43?

00:07:31 - US intel at Guadalcanal?

00:11:18 - There's many examples of Land based aircraft taking off from carriers. Are there any land based aircraft that have landed on carriers? And if so, how did they do?

00:18:00 - Did the IJN have tanks and vehicles and such?

00:19:12 - Was the sinking of the soviet submarine ShCh-305 by finnish submarine Vetehinen by ramming, the only time in history when one submarine sank another by ramming? Or did this happen more than once in history?

00:36:47 - Broadly speaking, it seems the Allies adhered to the naval treaty system right up to hostilities actually being declared. Was that actually the case and was there any formal "we're abandoning now" from the US, UK, and/or France?
