Starfleet Tactical #175: Questions, Answers, and Babylon 5 (w/Pat Doyle) [27 Sep 2025@9pm EDT]
The planets are all in alignment (we think), and Pat Doyle is available to join Chris for a discussion of Babylon 5.
STARFLEET TACTICAL is the YouTube show where we talk about the intersection of naval history and science fiction, with some gaming occasionally thrown in for flavor. Primary host Chris Weuve is a naval analyst and wargame designer, whose superpower is that he can talk about Real World(tm) navies and science fiction navies at the same time.

Starfleet Tactical #185: How Many Ships to Keep One Forward? [07 Feb 2026@9pmET]
[Yes were doing a show this week once again, the weather is not cooperating!]
Ships do lots of things that arent fighting wars and conducting presence operations they train, they undergo routine maintenance, they have deep overhauls, et cetera. Early in their careers, US Navy force planners early on learn carrier math, the calculations that answer the question how many carriers do we need to own in order to have one carrier deployed?
Lets take a shot at inventing starship match. Well focus on the assumptions relatvant to Starfleet, but well look at other assumptions, too.

Starfleet Tactical #192: Naval Infrastructure [09 May 2026 @9pmET]
Fleets arent just about ships they are supported by facilities ashore: Shipyards, docks, supply centers and the like. And as fleets change, the facilities need to change, either because they need new capabilities, or because the new bigger ships no longer fit. Inspired by both an interesting video by Drachinifel [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV0yCuypIdo ] and a dozen other videos on Starfleets Spacedock, Chris takes a look at naval infrastructure in fact and fiction.

Frequent guest Chris Calrson returns to the show, and the two Chris-es will discuss the new Danish CUBE modular weapons system, how it fits into the history of naval modularity, and maybe a little bit of a discussion of STANFLEX and the Royal Navy (per Dr. Alex Clarke video The Stanflex Option: What if after the 1982 Falklands War the Royal Navy went Stanflex? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_0S2zCVlag]). Well finish up with a discussion of how modularity might work in a science fiction context. (SPIs DeltaVee, anyone?)
