I think an aluminum superstructure is a mistake on a capital warship. The USS Belknap was built in the 60's and she had an aluminum superstructure, Wasn't too much left of her, except the hull after the collision with the Kennedy. UD Quite a few modern naval ships have steel hulls and aluminum superstructures. They just aren't supposed to crash into an aircraft carrier. Eisboch 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. That is a common misconception, the HMS Sheffield was made entirely of steel. Supplied by the lowest bidder... And the union welders would not weld in the verticle fire partitions. Sad. I see you let Zell out of the locked ward. |
