>>>As a certain trawler
person once said," They don't build aircraft carriers out of Aluminum"<<<
The reason they do not build military hardware out of aluminum including
aircraft carriers is that aluminum is an incendiary metal when hit with
certain kinds of munitions. Aluminum can be made to explosively burn. Not
good for an aircraft carrier.
For a good explanation of the use of the yield strength for aluminum look
under "Hull and Deck Construction" on Dashew's site here
