00:00:55 - When Fisher came up with his ideas was he providing a whole detailed plan himself or did he get one of his underlings to try and interpret his ideas into a functional blueprint?
00:04:00 - Rivadavia style layout for the Fuso's?
00:06:01 - How could the RN contemplate side by side twin turrets and not go for triples instead?
