[QUOTE="76GMC1500, post: 1143294, member: 73139"] Missiles have made armor obsolete, you will not see armored ships being built by the Navy any more. Hulls can be compared, a large tanker or bulk freighter may sit 70 feet below the surface at full load, it has to be somewhat of a pressure hull. Any groundings and collisions are unexceptable and I was suprised to find that the Navy was having a problem. US merchant marine officers and even those from overseas have to meet STCW standards of competent watchstanding. Navy officers do not. The US Coast Guard would like the Navy to bring its officers up to everybody else's standards. Driving a ship from sea buoy to sea buoy is easy, but once in a manuvering situation, Navy captains have to rely on a pilot. They should not rely on the pilot, he should only be on board as an advisor. [/QUOTE]
