If the 1859 Pig war between US and UK goes hot and the US and Britain end up in a shooting war over the Canadian border do you think there's any chance of relations being good again by WWI or does this scenario end up with Central powers US. Alt hist for sure
Q&A If Hood was refitted, wouldn’t it be cheaper to make a new battleship instead of basically stripping the entire ship down so the engines could be replaced?

Thank you, Drach, for addressing my question.

Boiler water question - Did they use chromate dosing during WW1 and WW2 that they use now for boiler feed water?
Robert Henry Illston
Q&A I noticed on the photo you used when discussing the use of wood in dry docks that where the wood block was placed there appeared to be a corresponding space on the hull were the riveting changed, would this be an area that was specifically reinforced for the support block, much like cars have reinforced areas on their frames for jacks, are there any more examples of such naval engineering to facilitate the maintenance and repair of ships as opposed to their combat ability?
