Re: We need more
I found myself engrossed in this 36min. video taken aboard the "Rokkosan" on March 11 2011 at Kashima Port.
Masterly seamanship.
A couple of commenters didn't like the music but I found it both unobtrusive and effective as this gripping video unfolded.
This article describes the incident from aboard the propane-tanker "Flanders Tenacity":

I've watched a few episodes of Abandoned Engineering, some of which had a military theme.

Come for a virtual horse-ride - 4:25

The SR71 talk, although 78 minutes long, is interesting and well presented.
If you go to 54:00 he talks about navigation and camera resolution - 9 inches from 15 miles high!

Re: We need more
Sir I am not sure that this was the interview you wanted, but, if not, I submit this as a proxy. I had the pleasure of meeting this American pilot and gentleman at Duxfrord...
