Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the heated debate surrounding the future of naval warfare, specifically regarding the merits of iron versus wood in the construction of warships. The author, established expert in naval architecture, presents a compelling case for the superiority of iron over wood, citing advantages in strength, durability, safety, and cost-effectiveness. Challenging long-held prejudices against iron ships, the book thoroughly debunks common misconceptions. It demonstrates how iron's greater strength allows for thinner plates, resulting in lighter ships that can carry heavier loads while drawing less water. Moreover, the author emphasizes the superior fire resistance and safety of iron ships due to their ability to be divided into watertight compartments. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of naval warfare, the evolution of shipbuilding technology, or the ongoing quest for safer and more effective warships. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of iron and wood, ultimately arguing that iron is the superior material for constructing the navies of the future. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9780282261627_0
