Metal ships cannot be repurposed because the stress points in the hull would split from fatigue if the superstructure exceeds 73% of waterline from transom to bow sprit. Any modern vessel requires a superstructure that would easily exceed 4/5ths of the waterline. Time to brush up on your periodic table Timmy. |
