Seems to me the Brits had a problem with Aluminum superstructures on their warships in the Falklands War.. The French built Exocet missle caused major fires. HMS Sheffield had a steel superstructure. There were a couple of Type 21 frigates that sank. They had aluminum superstructures but were hit with bombs, and probably would have sank regardless of the superstructure's construction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Sheffield_(D80) |
