Well yeah... But how long do you think that coating is going

to last
15-20 yrs maybe, more like 10 if an excellent job was done in

the first
place. The supply boats were coated when new.

Initially, many of these tanks were coated with inorganic zinc

......
mistake, as electrolysis tended to be a problem.
Now tend to be coated with various newer vinyl coatings.
Generally these are well monitored and re-done as needed during

yard
periods (blasting)..... cheaper than replacing steel.
