    Remember the Brit destroyer in the Falklands War when hit by an French
    missile?

    The aluminium superstructures went away so fast, the French had to redesign
    the Exocet fuses....the missiles were detonating on the other side of the
    ships after going completely through. Could be the reason the US Navy
    decommissioned all the nuclear cruisers before their time. They had
    aluminium superstructures.
