Hello Ray and All . . .
I believe that a British ship made mainly of Al2 was sunk or severely damaged by a
surface hugging missile. Apparently it started quite the design rationale "battle"
within navy circles. Fire control was virtually impossible.
Any comments on the burning characteristics of Al2? Not really Psubs material, but,
I had to ask.
