Many years , I took a night class at the local tech school. They had a
16" jointer (I never knew they made them that big.) The instructor said
it was from the damage control department off of a Navy battleship.

I'd like to know what damage they were controlling with a 16" jointer.

I'm thinking there is more metal in a battleship than wood, but even if there
are large wooden beams, why would you need a 16" jointer - on board - to
repair them? Did they also have a stockpile of rough cut beams that they
would need to clean up before replacing whatever it was that got damaged?

Any idea what they would do with something that big?
