You've often said that aircraft did not become a serious threat to capital ships until at least the late 1930s, but even by the early interwar period there were carriers, aerial torpedoes, and 'stringbags' to carry them. While one would expect the carrier aviation of earlier years to be less effective, tactically and technically, than it was in World War Two, anti-aircraft defences were also less extensive. What were the limiting factors which prevented air power from becoming the decisive element in naval warfare in these early years, and how were they overcome?

Well, there are certainly some hidden gems in Europe. For example, there is the so called "White Fleet" in Dresden (Germany) - a collection of 9 still functional steam paddle ships which travel up and down the Elbe river transporing tourists. Granted, they are not and never were military ships, but I can assure you that it's quite impressive to travel on one of those nice old ladies. The "Diesbar" is the only one which still has a coal-powered steam engine, the other 8 have oil-fueled steam engines. The "Diesbar" was build in 1883/1884 , but the steam engine itself dates back to 1853/57. Still works like on the first day. :) You can actually watch the engine in action up close since it's located in an open-top engine pit.

Thanks, great video, missed the opportunity to visit her in 2013, now I can say I’ve seen her. Another reason they used long locomotive type single fire tube boilers is their low profile, keeping the boilers below the armoured deck. Many other Danube steamers had large drum-shaped marine multiple fire tube boilers projecting through the upper deck to facilitate shallow draft, but this would have been very vulnerable to rifle fire. BTW if you go to visit this ship, the Budapest railway museum is also well worth a visit!

Much appreciated, sir! I recently took a Danube (Donau) River tour which ended at Budapest. After a quick-march down the river bank I had just enough time to take a few exterior shots before legging it back to our boat for tour-next-in-sequence. (My wife is from New England and an idle mind is the Devil's workshop. Our tours are rather tightly scheduled.) This is one part of a three-part maritime museum, and I shall return. (Not as flamboyantly as General MacArthur, perhaps.) The "engine intake" you poked your head down is actually a ventilation funnel. The primary purpose is ventilation for the engineroom crew. I could not find much detail on the engineering plant - most likely two "Scotch" boilers (similar to railway locomotives) and two double- or triple-expansion reciprocating steam engines. One needs a fair amount of power to get upstream on the Danube.

Drach, it would be great if you ever did a tour of the States and reviewed all the museum Battleships that are on display. I can see a new playlist of Down the Hatch video's from this channel.

Just visiting all the museum battleships in the US would take quite a while, not counting all the preserved carriers, cruisers, destroyers, submarines (+ 1 U-Boot), LSTs, Higgins Boats, PT Boats, Liberty Ships, wooden frigates, ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_museum_ships_of_the_United_States_military The US is about the only country that emerged from WW-II with an economic boom, and spent some of that money in a good way.

I thoroughly enjoyed this onsite tour you gave us, I would definitely love to see more of these in the future. If you make it to the states we have plenty of options for you to explore. If by chance you are ever in west Michigan on the Lake Michigan shore take a look at the Gato-class sub USS Silversides in Muskegon, Michigan. I had three pleasure of sleeping on the ship as a boy scout 30 years ago, she's in great shape and one of many Gatos on display across the states. Cheers!

Boy Scouts and American Heritage Girls still sleep aboard the USS Alabama (BB-60), just not at the same time. There is a Gato-class sub USS Drum with a stellar WWII combat record that is also part of the Battleship Park along Mobile Bay. Looking through the periscope in the conning tower is quite an experience. The Chieftain has a video about the USS Alabama.

I also had the pleasure of sleeping aboard the submarine. And blowing the diving horn to wake the troop in the morning.

I certainly did enjoy this video on my walk with the dogs. I recently went on hms freshwater as shes know in bideford. An ex rn water resupply ship from 1947 till I think the early 80s. Triple expansion engine still works and when the boilers are commissioned I'm gonna go have a trip on her around the bay area.
