Destroyer Escort
>Small, lightly armed boat used to escort supply ships. Typically armed with 3-in guns and depth charges for attacking submarines. No armor.
Destroyer
>Small boat armed with a few 5-in dual-purpose guns. Guns are used to kill planes and smaller ships. Also armed with torpedoes for killing larger ships. Used as an armed scouting force. Also has depth charges for killing submarines. No armor.
Light Cruiser
>Large boat armed with many 5-in guns. Basically, a larger destroyer with twice as many guns and thicker armor. Armor is present but limited. May or may not possess torpedoes. Lightly armored.
Heavy Cruiser
>Large boat armed with several 8-in guns. Also has a secondary battery of 5-in guns. Looks like a mini-battleship. Armor is thicker but still not very Torpedoes completely absent. Moderately armored.
Battleship
>A very large boat armed with multiple large caliber guns, ranging from 14 in to 16 in. Older versions will have 12 - 13.5 in guns instead. Usually slower than other ships due to heavy armor. Possess a secondary battery of dual-purpose guns and also a large number of anti-aircraft guns like the 40 mm Bofors. Heavily armored.
Battlecruiser (or "Large Cruiser")
>An awkward type of ship fitting somewhere between a Heavy Cruiser and a Battleship. Although nearly as large as a Battleship, the battlecruiser does not have the thick protective armor associated with most battleships. Instead, the ship sacrifices armor in favor of speed. Armed with guns which are 12-in or larger. Armor ranges from light to moderate.
Aircraft Carrier
>A very large warship (over 800 feet long) with a flight deck running the entire length of the ship. Doesn't have any guns, but rather depends on aircraft launched from the carrier deck to attack enemy warships. Replaced battleships as the most important capital ships in the fleet. Little-to-no armor.
Destroyers often had torpedoes.
>>1876684
Not entirely, but it gets most of the stuff more or less correct if you're talking a WW2 timeframe.
Most carriers did have guns though, albeit not very heavy ones. And cruiser guns varied a hell of a lot more than you're implying in your greentext.
Also, battlecruisers usually had guns more or less in line with the battleships of their era.
>>1876684
Too many exceptions.
>Light Cruiser
>Large boat armed with many 5-in guns.
Most light cruisers had 6-inch guns.
>Heavy Cruiser
>Torpedoes completely absent.
Only the United States removed torpedo tubes altogether. All other major navies had heavy cruisers with torpedo tubes.
>Battlecruiser (or "Large Cruiser")
>the battlecruiser does not have the thick protective armor associated with most battleships.
Only true of British designs. The Germans prioritized armor over armament in their WWI Battlecruisers, whereas the British emphasized the opposite.
>Aircraft Carrier
>Doesn't have any guns
Most World War II carriers had at least a 5-inch DP gun broadside that could provide some minimal defense against surface opponents (As Gambier Bay was able to against Choukai at Samar). Older conversions such as Akagi or Lexington had full 8-inch guns.
Despite being ibero-germanic afro-asiatic i would like to know more about pre-roman Iberian culture.
I know that cantabrians and basques preserved it quite well but for others is more difficult

Bergistani were defeated by Elephant Man when he was crossing to Rome. They then tried to rebel against Rome in 197 but Cato the Elder put them down. When they rebelled again the entire clan was either killed off or enslaved. Livy wrote them having a few Castles with their main castle holding in modern day Berga

So, I know that after Sparta got its shit pushed in by Rome, they became a glorified tourist trap by maintaining their unusual culture and way of life.
I know roughly when Sparta ceased to even be locally important.
What I'm not sure about is when they stopped following their older traditions; I figure it was more of a gradual decline with certain elements that were no longer sustainable being dropped one by one. But do we have any records indicating at least an 'earlier than this' date?
>>1876492
Around 1914 or so.
>>1876492
They never got there shit pushed in by Rome because they never had the chance to by the time Rome came they were completely irreverent.
>>1876544
Kind of. They were, if not willingly, part of the Achaean League at the time, and contributed forces to the Achaean War.
And they weren't really irrelevant, considering that they were a major cause of the Achaean war. They weren't militarily relevant, but them not being part of a Greek league was an important enough cause for Rome to go to war over.
Just look at pic related.
> Modern adaptation of Norman hairstyle used in pseudo-historically ways in a TV series about Vikings (not even Normas btw) --------> It becomes widely trendy and fashionable.
> Manchu hairstyle, which is at least historically accurate --------> "You are some kind of autist" "You know nothing about Manchu opression" "MUH QING DYNASTY"
Personally I think both hairstyles are equally stupid, but why are you SWAG or autistic terrorist nerd when you wear one or another?
Really makes you think bros...

>Chinese peasants forced to LARP with mongol hairstyles
>Patrician
>>1876388
Technically, if the one who was wearing that hairstyle was an ethnic Manchu (Tungusic, not exactly Mongol), he'd been quite Patrician compared to peasants.
>why does me wearing a hairstyle that was a widely known historical symbol of oppression and subjugation make me look like a fucking LARPer autist while wearing a hairstyle popularized by a TV show make me look trendy
Are you actually retarded?

is there a chance somebody knows something?

Would dropping nuclear bombs on Chinese cities during the Korean War or on Dien Bien Phu during the Vietnam War have been justified like the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Consider it from the point of view of "number of soldier lives spared", as always.
>>1876006
No, Nagasaki and Hiroshima were the US' way of preemptively calling Russia's bluff and proving we were willing to use nukes if we thought it prudent. Using it on China and Vietnam would've just meant we didn't give a fuck about any foreign nations which would cause untold dissent among other 3rd world allies fighting communism.
I've always thought that the U.S should of ran wild with nukes while they were the only ones with them and air superiority. Nuke all the major population centers of asia, Russia, Africa and the middle east. Don't even bother invading, just drop a bunch of bombs so that there is no population, no infrastructure, no organization, etc. It wouldnt be clean but it would ensure united states dominance for centuries to come.
>>1876006
If you're dropping nukes, you don't have to justify it to anyone.
Was the Dreyfus Affair a Jewish conspiracy?
>>1875801
I wonder how /pol/ deals with the Dreyfus Affair. On the one hand, he was a Jew, so obviously evil. On the other, the thing he was accused of doing was spying for the German Empire, and /pol/ likes the German Empire
>>1875829
I figured that someone on here had an argument for the Jews being behind it all.
Dreyfus was a plant.

Does Catalan separatism have any historical basis?

this is how catalan flag was designed

What do you mean by "historical basis?"
WATCH IT TROTSKY!
What're you gonna do you little bitch.
>>1875521
Say we have a universe simulator and run the same experiment 100 times between years 1917-1953, keeping Lenin and Stalin the same, but substituting different people/personalities for the other founding Bolsheviks. We will likely find that with every experiment once Lenin is out of the picture, Stalin murders, erm I mean "purges", all the other founding Bolsheviks minus a token puppet like Molotov every single time.

Where would we be today if the library of Alexandria hadn't been destroyed?

Entirely made up of Roman successor states.
Allegedly the library had a steam engine, and at the time Egypt was conquered only Rome could've produced a steam train and tracks

Is there anybody I should read before starting Wittgenstein? Also I can skip Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus and just move on to Philosophical investigations right?
>>1874818
No.
Yes.
>>1875108
>Yes
Why?
>>1875172
He goes back on everything he says in the Tractatus in PI, so it's kind of pointless unless you're a Wittgenstein scholar
