    The Russians used 240mm cables, but electromagnets were also used to degausse ships.

    Oldsalt1950's post in WOOD SHRINKAGE! was marked as the answer   
    You have just discovered the hydroscopic properties of wood. The Isopropyl removed what moisture it could from the wood = shrinkage. Water bath, rehydrated = swelling. The wood needs more moisture. Think of it like a boat, out of water the hull dries out a bit and some seams will if not properly calked open up. Put the boat back in the water and the seams leak until they swell up. If not enough water can be absorbed by the wood, you keep bailing the boat out. Thus, ends today's physical science lecture this information is testable!!!!

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
