The stream pauses after the scenario to compare its fictional North Dakota with the actual US battleship commissioned in 1910. The real ship carried ten 12-inch guns, not the twelve 14-inch guns fitted to the simulation design. That difference shows how deliberately the experiment exceeds contemporary US service specifications. It gives viewers a concrete historical anchor for separating the game's paper battleship from a dreadnought that actually entered service.
