Re: Pre war steel in ships/planes

Not all steel mined and produced today contains recycled material. Early 'virgin' steel is definitely superior, but the same quality 'could be' still accomplished today...same as other materials like rubber. Today you don't get rubber that is actually rubber. As time has passed, more and more additives has been employed to the point that it's lifespan has been reduced to less years than we have fingers
