Which functional degradation was accelerated by hull sheathing practices developed for 18th-century ships?

💡 Explanation

Sheathing with copper (or other dissimilar metal) resulted in rapid galvanic corrosion because iron bolts became sacrificial anodes in seawater, therefore weakening the hull; this mechanism isn't biological fouling or simple uniform rotting, rather than uniform material behavior.
