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?



The elevators and some decks were wood.

Decks were (I think) teak planks over the steel deck for better footing
and weather...hadn't thought about the elevator decks and all, though...

I suppose it may still be practice to have the wood surface deck; hadn't
really thought of it.
