Big Flaws in the Boat. The Navy doesn't like to talk about.

Using one for a SINKEX drill would be quite interesting as both types' survivability has long been in question, especially due to the widespread use of aluminum in their construction and their overall lower design standards than their more hardy dock mates. Seeing what real weaponry does to either of the designs could be beneficial

I thought the Belknap fire already proved the hazard of using aluminum in ship construction.

That could be their ultimate contribution to the Navy. Anchor those things off shore and put a harpoon into each one of them, and let the results be a lesson for future builders.
