As a former Navy swab, I'm here to tell you that steel boats rust from
everywhere. Inside
and outside. Whole divisions of deck apes were kept busy endlessly
chipping, scraping,
primering and painting.<<<<<
During the Vietnam war, we saved all of our brass caps from our projectile
rounds to trade to the Chinese for chipping, sanding and painting our entire
destroyer in about three days. I was one of those apes you so fondly
referred to, more respectful folks called us Boatswains Mates.
Take care,
Gregory david Stempel
