The library in the next town over is offering a series on WWI and the
topic tomorrow night is Aviation and Manufacturing Advances during the
war.

Any thought about the manufacturing part?

WWI saw the first mass usage of arc welding for ship construction.

Previously, iron hulls were only rivetted and arc welding provided far
faster construction - needed due to the losses due to German Submarines.

US Submarines also had welded hulls.
