The channel began as a series of discussions on individual ships and ship classes ('Five Minute Guide to Warships', initially using Text-to-Speech but later transitioning to spoken dialogue), but rapidly became a general series on naval history as whole, especially in the Classic Age of Sail (roughly 1650 to 1850), the late 19th century (with the transition to steam propulsion and iron armor) and the world wars.

* The "Five Minute Guide" appears every Saturday
* Sundays feature the "Drydock," where Drachinifel answers viewer questions on naval history.
* The "Wednesday Rum Ration" can be an extended video on a particular topic, a museum ship tour, or a discussion with a veteran or naval history author.
* The "Fun Friday" videos can be book reviews, tours of his personal library, game reviews, or other topics seen in the Wednesday series.



* AprilFoolsDay: has done several April 1 special videos. For 2024, the subject was the battle between the IJN cruiser ''Takao'' and Godzilla in ''Film/GodzillaMinusOne.''
* AscendedFanboy: Drachinifel has been invited to museum ships and naval history conferences and has had prominent naval historians such as Jon Parshall on the channel as guests.



* ReliablyUnreliableGuns: He discusses the flaws of several ship-borne weapon systems, most notably the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQ5Ru7Zu_1I Mark 14 torpedo]] and Japan's Mark 96 25mm anti-aircraft gun[[note]]though in that case, it was less about the gun itself and more for their insistence on continuing to use it long after it became obsolete[[/note]].

* RunningGag: Thanks to Drach's engineering background, the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square%E2%80%93cube_law square-cube law]] seems to get mentioned at least once in every "Drydock" episode.
