Semantically, it's the same thing. What you started out saying initially was this;
quote:
The steel may have been the best of its type at the time, but it was the wrong type! it was proberbly more ready available and cheaper but it was the wrong type, H&W had to know this, plus they were under pressure to get the job done
Please take note of what I underlined and the implications become pretty clear.
>>few shipyards then and no shipyards since will built ships of this type of steel,<<
Again, misleading and in one respect just plain dead wrong. The same type of steel using the same formulas and made by the same methods was widely used, not just in Britain's merchent vessels, but in her warships as well.
>>One of cunards ships that was built with this type of steel, she was hit with a topedo amid ships,her plate was heavy enough she should have survived but dident,the impact sheared the plate rivets and she opened up like a tin can and rolled over in 18 min.<<
Once again, misleading and irrelevant. The Lusitania was the victim of a torpedo loaded out with a couple of hundred pounds of high explosive. The quality of the steel had absolutely nothing to do with why the Lusitania sank, it was not an issue in 1915, and it has not been an issue in any modern investigations or theories. (And since you brought it up, you might want to do some research on the problems caused by assymetric flooding, and what happens when watertight integrity is compromised by explosions, a very possible failure to set watertight boundries, as well as bursting steam pipes and possibly even a boiler giving up the ghost)
>>Your referance of Side scan sonar dosent hold water, this sonar can find and show outlines of imeges of hull forms below the sea bottom, but show details of hull plating and impact areas! I dont think so, if it did they would have shown it!<<
But *show* it is
exactly what that one Discovery channel documentary did. They negelected to show the additional and even more extensive damage on the port side and the reality is that it's virtually impossible to distinguish iceberg damage from impact with the bottom. Nevertheless, is was indeed
shown and it was seen in millions of households.
Now once more, could you please address the following question which you've been conspicuously avoiding:
"What evidence is there...from the wreck itself...that the plates in the area of the impact with the ice shattered and broke away on impact? If you can, please be so kind as to present scientific documentation of same which has survived the scrutiny of the peer review process."
