Pinned post for Q&A :)

"Re-distribute the means of propulsion" is an absolutely god tier Drachism
-
At Doogerbank: "Torpedoboats everywhere! They will kill us all!!!!" 14 years later: Torpedo boat literally stops in shouting distance, repairs stuff, and sinks a russian ship.
-
We need more boats named after cocktails
-
There are no friendly mines, only mines you know the location of

Shooting down a fighter aircraft from a baloon with a pistol - somebody deserved his medal!
-
My better half and I were recently discussing who would make for a good GPS guide voice. Uncle Drach was in our agreed upon top three.
-
"Cassandra ran into a mine" They should have seen that one comming, but would have ignored it anyway.
-
"...24.000 German volunteers who had shown up to fight, well, somebody, and as it turned out, almost anybody." ROFLMAO Drach, how come you continue to find such funny little details? You not only make us more enlightened, you also keep us amused.
-
16:40 Well, as they say, every ship can serve as a minesweeper at least once.
-
The spartak follows the great Russian traditional phrase starting at the journey of the 2nd pacific squadron, “and then it got worse.”
-
Heh, I did immediately think "Well, that's a first." when Drach mentioned the request to become a British Protectorate was denied.
-
10:25 thats a VERY precise describtion of situation in Latvia - everyone was fighting everyone .
-
One cruiser ramms a block ship, another cruiser hits a mine and sinks and two destroyers ram into each other at the start of the operation. These ships are either related or the British counterpart to the Russian second pacific squadron.
-
"Distribute the means of propulsion" had me in capitalist stitches.
-
"Redistribute the means of propulsion" is some of the best word play I've ever heard. Bravo.
-
This is surely one of the most interesting and unknown naval conflicts, that I've ever heard of.
-
Note on Helsinki/Helsingfors: The different names are (mostly) a question of Finnish and Swedish instead of new and old. Helsinki is still called Helsingfors in Swedish, including about 5% of the citys population.
-
Never before has one cute sea mine ever found more friends than in the north sea. RIP, they all were enveloped in the massive sweet embrace of love and overpressure only a lonely mine can endow.
-
Incredibly fascinating video I love how important as mundane of a ship as icebreakers became. It and minelayers/sweepers tend to be the most forgotten military ships, as they don't shoot guns like the cool kids, but they can have as much or even greater importance than battleships on the success of operations
