Hi Drach: armoured steel, one of these days on such a complex metallurgical subject you will eventually get into crystalline molecular structure of steel in its multiplicity of forms and the way they handle crack propagation due to force, velocity and mass; in which case you will be giving your listeners a doctoral thesis on the science and history of amour - perhaps the Open University would make a good choice for you to obtain a position.

Hi Drach again: Even now with modern CAD and virtual design space engineering the larger ships and boats are in the same class individual vessels with characteristics and quirks different to their sisters, A case in point is that every single one of the Astute class boats is different in performance and capability to her sisters. Even boats for the future will vary I am sure in the same way. In the shipyards and in service all ships/boats are individuals and characters and are affectionately (occasionally very unaffectionately) thought of by their designers, builders and crew; this is difficult to explain to outsiders.

Drach teaching at the Open University, that would be cool, Prof Drach teaching alongside Prof. Marcus du Sautoy and Prof. Iain Stewart. Open University Drach DVD set when? B)

I can attest to that, having been on one of a set of 'twins' (AOE-2) that shared a set of battleship engines (USS Kentucky), each ship having half of the original set. Even stuff as minor as the time of day when things are welded together vs what side the sun is heating up and expanding, causes changes. Over time, the two ships got more different stuff, AOE-1 lost a bridge wing due to a UNREP collision and the replacement was drastically different from the original WW2 ones we had to the end, etc. Yes, I know the ships were old tech, there was a reason another generation of replenishment ships got scraped before us. As much as some gloat about how 'cool' this or that new thing is, I can assure you, we were the only two ships that could keep pace with the carrier when things got 'interesting' (without using battle plates in the boilers). The hull just got too old in the end.

One error in this video: Borodino wasn't Admiral Rozhestvensky's flagship. That was Knyaz Suvorov.

Thanks for the interaction. I love your channel. I also had a daydream about an alternative Coral Sea/Midway with a mixed US/UK fleet.
