Starfleet Tactical #193: Questions, Answers, and Discussion with Peter Gold [May 16 2026 @9pm ET]
Chris is joined by firend-of-the-show Peter Gold, back from his recent gig as a merchant mariner based in Japan. We'll go over what Chris got wrong last week, talk about merchant mariner stuff, and preview our upcoming trip to visit the NS Savannah.
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.
CHRISTOPHER WEUVE is a professional naval analyst and wargame designer. He is a co-founder of the Connections Online wargame conference, held every April via YouTube. Outside the day job, Chris is a co-founder of BuNine (David Weber's Honorverse analytic visualization team), and has also consulted with Chuck Gannon, Walter Hunt, Alec Peters, Tom Harlan, John Lumpkin, and others. His work has been featured by Baen Books, the US Naval War College Review, Foreign Policy, and the Discovery Channel. Since May 2020 he's been the co-host (with Pat Doyle) of "Starfleet Tactical" on the Ares Studio channel on YouTube. His hobbies are naval history, science fiction, and not speaking for his employer.

Starfleet Tactical #194: Passenger Freighters and NS Savannah Tour (with Peter Gold) [June 20 2026 @9pm ET]
**NOTE: We had some technical issues up front, caused entirely by Chris setting up the stream wrong. So, the first three minutes is missing.**
A couple of weeks ago Chris was joined by a couple os friends (Sean Barnett, and frequent guest Peter Gold) in a tour of the NS Savannah. (That NS stands for Nuclear Ship, which is the merchant ship equivalent of a unicorn.) In this episode, Chris and Peter (a working merchant marine engineer) talk about the Savannah, civilian nuclear vessels in genral, and the concept of passenger freighters.
More about the Savannah can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NS_Savannah
