Our electrical shop on the USS Everglades (a destroyer tender) was situated at an expansion joint. When we were at sea I would enjoy watching the flexure at that joint and was reminded that the Liberty ships did not have this feature in their design and, hence, many broke up at sea. I am an engineer, no surprise.
