I love the enthusiasm with which you share your knowledge of the innermost workings of the ship, that type of attitude is infectious! I very much appreciate you taking the time to share your expertise and historical insight. Keep it up!
Really like Tom. He has the same energy and knowledge my old ex-Navy boss has. Is it possible to burn one of the grains of powder to show how slow it actually burns at atmospheric pressure?
This video is outstanding! I learned many new things. Question: when they were unloading the cans, how would they know if the can was empty or full? Was there a peephole or some kind of indicator?
The unloaded cans are lighter! The indicator for a full can would be your back...SCREAMING in pain! Oh... wait... you mean, when they are firing the guns, how do the powder passers know which cans to open to pull out powder bags. Good question. Never mind! :-)

Go get a bullet and pull the tip off and pour out the powder.. it's a different mix but it's the same idea
16:05 Were the rollers easier to use than the flat trays? I wonder why the Iowas would go to flat trays after having rollers on the South Dakotas.
This must be GMG1s dream come true!
This guy would be really good and explaining how they actually aim the guns? Would you do a video about that
