I enjoyed this episode and learned much over how the different class of ships came about. I have always loved the idea of ships but not ever been on any besides tours. And found that I was not really built for most of them being 6'3" and over 350#. I found the ships a little tight for me lol.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate the World of Warships invite, but Andy is the WoW gamer, not me.  :(

Now is as good a time as any to start! You need to trade in that old Macbook for a nice shiny Alienware, Greg  8).

Awesome episode, loved the descriptions of naval ship classes.  Any chance you could do a follow up looking at age of sail, ship of the line ratings etc?

Perhaps! It would be an interesting follow-up. I'd need to do a little research, as I'm not as familiar with age of sail combat ;).
