It is interesting pre WW1 Light Cruisers displace less than modern Destroyers and about the same as modern frigates

2020-02-16 20:51:12 +0000 UTCPretty cool to hear Drach mention my favourite jet fighter(s) the Mig-25 Foxbat/31 Foxhound. Fun fact about them, they used pure alcohol for cooling but the alcohol was consumable. Maintenance days where the alcoholic coolant was flushed were VERY popular on Russian bases.

The whole process is somewhat esoteric in its alloy mixtures. Just to let you know that work on the thoughts of armouring certain vessels in certain places is underway and being researched; Regards JohnH
