Drach - Circa 1870 steel could be produced, albeit expensively. Say in 1870 or so we had a 6” cannon. Hypothetically, could an under-bore all steel pointy round, using a sabot for centering be made using the technology of the day? Fired from a smoothbore cannon the projectile could be fin stabilized if desired. If this were possible, wouldn’t the all steel sabot round have: A much higher velocity by virtue of its smaller weight Have superior penetrative capability Finally, assuming the sabot round was able to penetrate the armor of the day, would the higher kinetic energy upon penetration have significant deleterious effects on the receiving crew/ship? Would it not be a viable option?
Makes sense saves you having a 10hr Patreon dry dock

I answer patreon questions in the last 20 minutes of regular drydocks as well as at the end if the month :)
I am just wondering why my quest was in this dry dock rather than the patrion one? Not a complaint quite happy to just have it answered merely curious.

What about Mare Island it was built in 1954 and was the First United States Navy Base on the West Coast.

Magnificent.

Post 1950! For shame! Seriously though, If you built that and it functions then call me very impressed.
