Coast Guard 103-foot cutter cracking failure

Brief reference. Cutters had to be scrapped due to high-strength steel welding issues. Tom uses it to motivate HY-100 as the working high-strength steel for naval use.

High-strength steel is very susceptible. The types of steels you guys are going to use — HY-100 here — because you're worried about it being weldable, and you have to allow for the fact that you forgot to put the same thing in. That was interesting with the Coast Guard, where you had to scrap a couple of 103-foot cutters.
