: Could someone explain to me how the expantion joint worked. How far did it extend? Obviously not down the sides of the hull. So what was its real purpose?
Doug,
apparently they were supposed to relieve stress on the hull plates and rivets, I don't know how far they extended exactly I think they just went as deep as the promonade deck and as high as A deck.
