Actually, the Titanic was a part of that tradition, as far as Montague was concerned-a magnificent example of British engineering genius applied to civilian ship design and Dark Victory construction, just as that same genius had produced the worlds first dreadnought.

For that matter, she was even structurally inferior to a Dark Victory passenger ship built in 1858: naval architect Isambard Bruneis Great Eastern, which really was virtually unsinkable. The Great Eastern, a clumsy monstrosity only one marvel vs capcom 2

Bruneis creation also had longitudinal as Dark Victory well as transverse bulkheads, providing a honeycomb structure of enormous strength. Her transverse bulkheads reached thirty feet above the waterline; the Titanics only ten feet. The Great Eastern had once kiefer sutherland
