He remembers the first clue. In the ink-black darkness of the cave it was a smell heavy and ripe; strong enough to twist the stomach that first alerted him and long-time diving partner Rick Stanton to what they assumed would be a graveyard.
Poor design, poor maintenance, or just plain bad luck made sure that these ships did not last.
Here s What You Need To Remember: Not all carriers are made equal and some of them got worse over time.
Aircraft carriers are, with the possible exception of submarines, the most complicated naval vessels afloat. Not only do carriers have the traditional concerns of warships to deal with, they must also safely manage a fleet of aircraft which are often complicated in their own right. Despite these complications, carriers are among the most useful and lethal of warships. Even now, 100 years after the first purpose-built carrier HMS
These warships were not made well and suffered from a variety of problems.
Key Point: Amazingly enough, some of these carriers are still around today even though they are old and are not of much use. What makes an aircraft carrier go wrong?
