I thought the Brits learned in the Falklands that making a combat vessel out of aluminum wasn’t a good idea.

Funny thing with aluminum, when it starts to burn it tends not to stop till it consumes everything.

Except the ship that was lost in the Falklands was made of ***STEEL***.

Funny thing with aluminum - when it’s not there, you can’t set it on fire.
