When I saw HMS Cavalier at Chatham Historic Dockyard I could not help notice the huge amount of rust, that you could see through in places. It seems that she has has repairs to corrosion twice since then. Lots of effort by volunteers on a much smaller vessel in comparison to a carrier.
Were there any solutions for Illustrious that folk here think were viable?
Mind you, it’s moot now that all three have gone.
