My purpose was to point out the chronological sequence of events error, by pointing out that the Belknap incident preceded the Stark incident, with the latter being just as or more important in the decision concerning the use of aluminum on warships. I agree that my response could have been laconic, but needed to precise to discourage deletion. However, my first posting was deleted unceremoniously and without comment.
