The limits of using naval history to design a fictional navy

What do you think of the Templin Institute's video about building a navy?

It is recalled as a reasonable attempt at a difficult task, because transferring naval history into science fiction depends on setting rules that a general discussion cannot fix.

Fleet recalls the Templin Institute's discussion favorably but does not claim a detailed fresh recollection. Its difficulty was that it had to address a general science-fiction navy without the constraints of one specific setting. Familiar genre assumptions can conflict, which limits how consistently lessons from different periods of naval history can be transferred. The assessment credits the attempt while preserving the limits imposed by its broad subject and by the panel's memory of the video.
