← HistoryWhich disadvantage resulted when Song dynasty iron-hulled ships collided at high speed?
A)Rivet fatigue promoted hull separation✓
B)Electrolytic corrosion quickly dissolved iron
C)Hull embrittlement created catastrophic fractures
D)Excessive flexing caused leaky seams
💡 Explanation
Rivet fatigue occurred frequently because the repeated stress of collisions, rather than corrosion vulnerabilities, stressed the iron rivets. Therefore rivet failure increased hull section delamination, rather than total hull rupture under compression.
