Why New US Navy Ships Look Like Old Wrecks #usaircraftcarrier #usnavy

Why New US Navy Ships Look Like Old Wrecks Why is the US Navy's newest aircraft carrier covered in rust before it’s even commissioned? Is this a sign of poor construction? Shipbuilders construct these massive carriers by assembling pre-fabricated building blocks. These blocks can sit exposed to the elements for extended periods. Rust forms on the steel, making it look unsightly. But does it actually harm the ship? Before any section is bolted or welded, each part is carefully sanded, primed, and painted. By the time the ship is ready, all the rust is gone. However, throughout the ship’s lifetime, junior sailors spend a significant amount of their time removing rust and repainting, thanks to the constant exposure to salt water. So, while the rust might look alarming at first, it’s all part of a process to ensure these carriers remain seaworthy for years to come. #army #military #navy #usarmy #usmilitary #usnavy #ukraine #militarytraining #veterans #marines #marinecorps #navyseals #specialforces #airforce #usairforce #army #military #navy #usarmy #usmilitary #usnavy #ukraine #militarytraining #veterans #marines #marinecorps #navyseals #specialforces #airforce #usairforce
