I actually have no formal training in any of these fields, and even though I have an interest in Naval vessels, I have a very rudimentary understanding of their workings, and I am definitely not an expert on any of this. Anything I have contributed has been pure conjecture, and guess work based off of what I do know about how things work in the real world ( hence the battery analogy). Which is why I haven't challenged any of the ideas here, even though I disaggree with the "every ship is identical" theory.
